Path to Destruction
Where am I going?
White churches,
Happiness,
Purpose,
Love?
Is that the destination?
Have I been here before?
Certain,
Never ending,
Passionate,
Sure?
Is this where I was?
Where I am?
Is this right?
Deceitful.
Secretive.
Dark thoughts.
Hidden pleasures.
This can’t be right.
I know where I am.
I have been here before.
This isn’t right.
Cell bars.
Depression.
Meaningless.
Hate.
That is our destination.
I am sure,
Our passion
Is Dark.
Our pleasures
Will be revealed.
Our deceit
Must End.
This road may be Secret.
It is also well traveled.
I am certain
No love can be kept
On the path to Destruction.

Jazz Romance
Most of my writing is inspired by past relationship struggles I have had. Life isn't always easy. It is way too simple to get caught up in something that isn't good for you or anyone else. I really want to share my experience, so that more people are aware of what is happening around them and remember that your own life should always come first. You ALWAYS have the ability to change what is going on around you. Apart from my little soapbox: I am an extreme music lover. Jazz is my passion. Singing is my thing, although I do also play trombone. I am a pretty friendly person and I love conversation. Poetry is new to me, but I have always been fascinated with it. I can't wait to keep writing and exploring.
