Hey guys, I know, this blog has lacked posts for quite a while.

 I just got done from suffering a long bout of multiple bipolar episodes, primarily depression- depression was super bad this time, and I even missed work and class sometimes due to it, and even had no motivation to write in my journal, let alone poetry and short stories. I will hopefully start to write and thus post more poems on here and stuff now... hopefully. =/ 

 Hm, may as well give you something, too. Here's a couple of recent poem's I've written, if anyone still reads this. I've also wrote a short story a few weeks ago, but as I'm posting on my work computer right now, and it is saved on my home computer, I'll post it later if I remember.

 Demons:
They're watching, waiting,
for me to leave here.
But I am safe here in my room,
this is my sanctuary.
Out there, though, they are waiting;
The demons of my mind.
Always hiding behind my back,
around the corners,
everywhere I would least expect.
Watching, waiting, for me to slip up,
 to be distracted, to forget them,
and that's when they'll attack.
They'll find me, chase me, catch me, hunt me.
They are not there, not real, I tell myself,
like that will even help,
as I dash in panic from the bathroom to my room.
These nonexistent shadows are going to get me one day,
if I don't somehow destroy them first.

I am a Tiger (without any teeth)
A Giraffe (who can’t reach the treetop)
A Rhinoceros (whose horn has been broken)
An Eagle (whose wings have been clipped).
 I crash when I fly, drown when I swim,
trip when I run, shake when I crawl.
 I am a Shark (without any fins)
A Spider (without any legs)
A Wolf (whose howl has been silenced)
A Dragon (who cannot breathe fire).


Hope y'all enjoyed them! =]
