Behind the perfect picket fence hides a quiet desperation. Suburban nightmares haunting a love wronged soul. Long are the hours in a wounded heart. In seeking company from those of my kind, I entered a world of delusions, addictions, loneliness, superficiality, and depravity. Am I losing my soul or just my sanity?Traveling from darkness, through salvation and damnation, to a more enlightened place -- within my own soul. Growing up an outcast, filled with pain and suppressed rage. In danger of turning to the dark side. This is a journey out of the darkness... Lyrical confessions about relationships, love, adolescence, insecurity, family, death, depression, society, gay culture, perseverance, faith and spirituality. Styles include Couplets, Triplets, Quatrains, Shakespearian and Italian Sonnets, Lais, Blank and Free verse.
