I am just starting out. I say what I mean and mean what I say.Just Deal With It. I express myself through the work of art. Just trying to put myself and express my thoughts out there.

I Am In Hiding!
It’s extremely hard for me
to keep myself private
from the rest of the world.
It’s also hard for me
to put myself out there
for everyone to see.
Why are you watching me?
You have 3 options:
you either stand out to be known,
blend in with the society,
or hide away.
Will you ever get to know the real me?
You are put here in this world
for a reason.
A reason that will take
a very long time.
A lifetime
to figure out
who you are
...
to keep myself private
from the rest of the world.

THE LIFE OF A LONE WANDERING OUTCAST
I am such a LONER
for a very long time.
I am traveling, wandering,
running, walking,
far and wide,
near and deep,
just looking for a spot
yearning for a comfort place
where I can be ACCEPTED
surrounded with lots of positive people
doing the things that I love.
I am not there yet,
I am still searching,
going from one place to another
with doors slamming shut on me
along the way,
hearing the word "NO" countless times
feeling that I am
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
for them
and I NEVER will be.
AM I A GOOD FIT?!?!...

The Haikus of DWD
This poem goes out to all of you folks who grew up in the 1980s and the 1990s (including myself). This poem brings out the 80s-90s kid in all of us. Enjoy this 80s/90s flashback poem!
The night has fallen
Bad guys have scattered the streets
Let’s get dangerous
Whipped out his gas gun
He swooped out of the shadows
The terror that flaps
Looks for the bad guys
Approaches them in the distance
Suck gas, evildoer!
Took out his smoke bomb
He creates his grand entrance;
Very Determined
He’s ready; willing

An Ode To Rejection
Rejection, Rejection,
Oh, how that I loathe thee
It seems to me that you are
NOT my cup of tea.
I have tried to fit in
And to get in on the action,
But you just keep coming in;
giving me a bad reaction.
I have applied myself
To many aspects of life,
You came in, ruined it,
And you’ve given me the strife.
From jobs, internships, applications, and auditions
for a chance to act in the theatrical productions,
to contests, competitions, sports games and tryouts
Thanks to you, I’m feeling left out.
I’ve lost the...
