SCATTERED WORDS

Please check out this super patient blogger, Tony Roberts, who does indeed have a way with words. Written by Tony Roberts and Hastywords I keep tripping over words Scattered upon the floor Words left screaming As you walked out the door You kept on walking. Walking. I was left with a mess of scattered words.…

LITTERED PATHWAYS

  Written by Christopher Rupley and Hastywords This night feels so angry and uptight, with air almost too dense to breathe and the stars seem much more distant as I stand pondering my new reality The salty moisture in the air invades the pores of my flesh, taunting me, showing me simple yet consistent pain,…

EXPLORING FREEDOM

  Written by Ras Munroe and Hastywords The land should be familiar but it is never the same. It is a foreign substance beneath my callused feet. It is a strange feeling seeking acceptance labelled outcast. Alone yet surrounded by people this is but an empty existence. The turmoil runs deep like pulsing veins of…

I’M A BLEEDER

You get a bit of stream of consciousness today because I can’t bring these thoughts together into anything of worth. This isn’t a plea for anything…just a need to let my thoughts free. I am not a writer. I am an emotional person who feels deeply and yearns for connection. I string words together well…

I FEAR ME

31 DAYS OF HORROR (Link your scary stuff in the comments) I FEAR My own mind Being totally irrelevant Depression may not scare you but it scares me I worry there will be more of it someday than of me It tells me, quite convincingly, everyone would be better off Better off without me… and…

YOU SPOKE
