"As artists we seem to desire like no one else - a desire that often pushes us to the point of madness. We don't just feel a range of intense emotions; we feel the need to express them to others. Express as a expel. Rant. Rage. Purge. Get them out of our heads and bodies and into the world. Onto the paper, the canvas, the keys. Get it away from us, we seem to be saying - this pain, this joy, this madness; take it away so we no longer have to carry the burden. Because we can't carry it alone, and we can't keep it inside."

ABOUT ME



I tend to do the best of both worlds writing stories & poetry. For the most part I spend most of my leisure time writing stories rather than poetry, and it's only whenever the mood strikes me where I write some poetry.
