My life holds no story.
Nothing worthy of note has stained my soul
or marked my skin in a way that would keep the attention of those walking past.
Nobody and I walk hand in hand.
She shields me from the glares of the public.
I can feel them clawing at my sanity.
Silence, I beg of you, keep me safe.
I’ve stayed forgotten.
Don’t make me claw my way back to the surface.
My parents let me walk myself to school around the age of 9. It was a ten minute journey over a motorway bridge, a couple of suburban roads. Daydreams were always more important than looking for cars and generally carried me all the way to school, until I had faced enough cars and…

There’s a spark somewhere in all of this.
I’m too dense to let it out, but I’ve seen that look
in your eyes when you sense it.
I shield it in fear of losing
the last bit of warmth
my breast has to offer.
Customer’s suit.
Tailorable wine label summer chic style.
I’ve decided to write a poem a week. First draft done Sunday, and every day I’ll work on it. Making sure to change something to improve it, and posting the finished product on Saturday. Starting this Sunday. I’m excited.
WRITERS/ARTISTS/PEOPLE WHO USE PENCILS
This giveaway is for you.
Thanks to the generous people at Pencils.Com, I’m giving away some awesome Palomino Blackwing swag
But what’s the Palomino Blackwing? IT’S ONLY THE BEST PENCIL EVER CREATED!
If Jesus/Sherlock Holmes/Christopher Hitches were still alive and used a pencil, they’d use the Palomino Blackwing 602.
Really though, back in the day, a company called Eberhard-Faber made the Blackwing 602. It was the ultimate pencil of choice- Chuck Jones used it, John Steinbeck used it, everybody used it. But then, in the mid 90s, it was discontinued.
I don’t know why, it was the 90s, stuff was weird.
There was chaos, riots, etc- you know, the usual stuff that happens when a pencil is discontinued- but then the Blackwing 602 blackmarket emerged. These pencils started showing up online- in 2002, one of them sold for $40 on eBay.
Not a dozen of them- a single pencil.
For $40.
If you want to learn more about their pencils, you can read the review I wrote here.
Anyways, a company bought the rights a few years ago and now Pencils.com sells them! And because they want you to have all the cool stuff that John Steinbeck had, they gave me some stuff to give away!
BONUS: I’m also going to be giving away some Felix Exi “I READ BOOKS” stickers, too!

You actually don’t even have to introduce yourself if you don’t want to, i don’t need an a/s/l, we don’t have to do the “hey whats up” “not much you?” thing, you can just say “so at school yesterday this idiot said…” in my ask box and I will gladly converse with you. Like seriously I will just talk to you like we’re best friends.

So many things went wrong, yet the night was a success.
I just realized that I do not own a white shirt. At all. A couple white graphics, but no button ups or solid white tees.
That must change
