“I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.”

I have stitched life into me like a rare organ.

After all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal.

Perhaps some day I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.

As a poet, one lives a bit on air. I always like someone who can teach me something practical.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.

I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.

Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.

We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine.

When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn’t want it, you cannot take it back. It’s gone forever.

I have a violence in me that is hot as death-blood.

Only I wasn’t steering anything, not even myself.

Every day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.

Love is the bone and sinew of my curse.

Everything in life is writable.

Traveling alone was a whole experience in itself, but it was everything I wanted it to be.

I’m stuck reliving old memories. moving aimlessly from one memory to another, in hopes of finding solitude; a serenity I never got to experience.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

To grow up is to experience all sorts of heartaches & still manage to see the beauty in every pain.

Life is an adventure, it can be hard but it can also be one of the most beautiful experiences imaginable.

Everyone in the world needs to come together to stop all the violence and racism happening in the world. Speak up when you see it happen, spread awareness of experiences (even when it’s tough), and show empathy for people every day.

New Year Day song is about the pain many of us have experienced this past year.

Successful people are the ones who have experienced pain & shape their life with it.
