I began writing in about 2007 and I remember that the experience was quite a catharsis for me,
my poetry is meant to be an expulsion of emotions and ideas from myself, I felt like a man possessed
before I started writing. Now I feel a measure of peace

but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Torn between good and evil, I often ponder the nature of man, especially his duality. I am constantly awed by both our capacity for evil, aand empathy. I believe in entertaining ideas without having to accept them.
I think only by expanding our own horizons can we ever obtain something close to divinity. I thirst for knowledge and expect others to do the same. In my experience the people who are the happiest do not plug the holes in their hearts, but heal them from all sides, to regenerate instead of simple imitate.
My work deals heavily with the ideas of evil and madness, and these are often musings of mine. I consider myself a man torn between extremes only to arrive with a dual nature,and because of this internal struggle I believe in the power of will. I hold that struggle makes all people stronger and that adversity is a flame which melts the weak but tempers the strong. I find that all people seem to share common threads of thoughts and that no matter how different we seem,
there is always common ground to relate to one another. Strength and intellect are qualities which I expect from all.
To me nothing is a greater loss than wasted potential. As a sociologist I understand that the will of a group
extends to the will of the individual and think that because of that we all must watch what we say and do around others.
My speciality inside of my discipline is identity theory and dealing with the management of identities that a person
accepts, and that are thrusted upon them. All people struggle with maintaining these identities and playing the roles
which they must but dealing with such concepts successfully is to be a well balanced purpose, to do so unsuccessfully
amounts to a failure to adequately present the self. In my personal life however I enjoy dispensing advice to my friends
who may be going through tough times, and helping others whenever possible, knowing that I hope if I ever go through
such troubles someone might help me. But enough of my preaching and rambling I suggest you judge me on my poetry,
heads up all of it rhymes because of my personal preference to write in such a way.
