Speaking 6 feet up


Hollow is the knock on the deep buried coffin. Silent is the cry Of a broken heart. Determind, yet lost a spirit does wander. "Going forward, Backwards going - ticking is the clock" Old Reaper chimes - Swirling like water screaming as it drains. Don't let the foolish men follow or tell you what you can't. Stray the eyes of Medusa and those of her kind, people as them hinder one's travels. Solid is the knock On the deep buried coffin. Rage is the reaction from pieces of the heart. Broken, Yet standing, her soul tears apart. How can one structure The final good-bye?

I'm a 23 year old with a strange sense of humor and passion about animals. Often times my name and the word "weird" are interlinked - not as suspicious, but more addlepated or curious. I love the smell of old books and only gave in to owning a Kindle because of its advantage to having several books in hand at one time. I used to spill artwork from my fingertips, but lately with Death, Debt, and Unexpected Life Struggles words and pictures start to only frustrate and hurt me more. I believe my place is either at a desk in a classroom or in the field of learning, and was one of the only kids who hated missing days at school. I'm pursuing my education level at a slow pace for a self-payer, but I thoroughly believe one day my writing will take me where I want to go. I don't expect to become a novelist, poet or journalist - but I do strongly acknowledge my continuing experience with the English language (and some German) is my calling in some field out there somewhere. Now I just have to keep writing [life works are like a map in progress] and I'll eventually find where that place is that I want to be. Im considering Biology, Zoology, and Veterinarian.
