Dragging Myself…
This doubt
I carry
It’s heavy
Weighing me
Down
Deep in my mind
Seeing with
Closed eyes
My failures
The things
That haunt
My dreams
Did I say dreams
How can they
Be dreams
When I awaken
To nightmares
This life
So full of doubt
It’s heavy
I carry it
All
Dragging myself
Behind me

He’s been writing poetry since late elementary school, he just never really shared his work with anyone until the past couple of years. Now that he’s opened up, he has so much that he wants to contribute to the writing community. Here’s how he describes his poems:
“I don’t write, I release.
I’m not sure if I could hold any of this in, even if I wanted to.
Poetry.. my therapy, my friend, my release.”
