People can be cruel, I’ve seen my fair share of it. I’m positive I’ve been cruel during my lowest days. Nothing compares to blood mistreating you. Except redemption. Reap what you sow. I’m watching it unfold. My body type, race, even my gender wereunder this persons scope. My mistakes, my shortcomings…my pain. One day in…

Protection
“Why do you go this route?” Why when I want to feel pretty like a flower, you decide to remove me from my garden? Don’t like the spikes, spiders, gore and lace? Treat me with decency. I do so to cause shock and awe. To leave certain individuals…appalled. To have them question their faith…to be…
Art – Some of My Favorites
Fun Fact – these are all later dated, and never made it to Vida, who I was partnered with for seven years. I mostly illustrated these for fun! For a while, I illustrated for my books. Then one day, I realized I could illustrate simply because I could. It’s relaxing, fun and I adore what…

America is Bogged Down
Since my earliest days of writing, I have always found the American collective to seem as though they are dragging their feet. This is merely an interesting perspective on the mindset most Americans have. Some love to brag about things they can lose…like stocks or cars. Some even brag about their partners, who look bored…
Don’t Fling Shi-
We attempt to advocate the very best for ourselves, and that includes setting boundaries. But, ever so often, someone takes their time to hurl poo in our direction.
