I can see the invisible one...she stands in the shadows...lurking... I can hear her quiet, pleading whispers! What happens if you speak? Does she take you to her empty place? Make you watch while she fills you with guilt? Choking you with her empty threats and vague promises of greener pastures? She dare not send …

30 Days in the Hole…
I was watching it rain today...it was different... Today it wasn't melancholy...there was no sorrow or feeling of grief... It looked cold and uninviting...It looks like the place where the Wretched Thing would take me...A dark, angry and bitter place...loveless and broken... Your icy grasp has grown feeble...it withers and shrivels...as does your Hag! Ah...did …
Indestructible…
In our house... Video games: privilege! Staying up later to finish watching a movie: privilege! Getting an extra 10 minutes to finish the chapter: privilege! Staying home from school...just because: privilege! Extra dessert: privilege! In this house talking is not a privilege! It is a right! We encourage it...we provoke it...we demand it...we celebrate it...we …
Pilgrimage
Do I lead us into a den of lions? Savage and hateful? Out for blood? Will you stand as champions for the Wretched Thing? Will you tear me down and burn the ashes of our invisible bridges? Will you cast me out...further? I will move mountains and brave the sea of bitter sorrow! I will …

I've been trying something new...I decided to give courage a try...I have started talking with people again...even strangers! I know how ridiculous that may sound but for 10 very long years I've been hiding behind giant impenetrable walls stewing in my own bitter anger...ashamed of my failures! Doing the least I could do... It turns …

Fixing A hole…with comic books…
The rain got in yesterday. The cold, damp bitter touch of fear, doubt and anger worked hard to bubble to the surface. I took a page from an old comic book. Bruce Banner was fighting to control the giant-green-rage monster known as the Hulk! He found a way to direct his rage. He vanquished the …
The wounded Beast
You snarl and snap. Jaws dripping with the scent of blood. Check yourself. I'm not bleeding. Learning by example! Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. -- Helen Keller
Blowin’ In The Wind
My 15 year dropped out of highschool. They waited two months to tell me. I guess all those times I asked him how his day was going or how are they were feeling fell upon deaf ears. I don't know what they were expecting from me. Did they want to me run over and kick …
