Author has written 28 stories for Family, General, Life, Religion, Nature, General, Politics, War, and Love.

I write to express myself. If someone else can relate to it, bonus. Let me know in the reviews. Technical criticism, while appreciated, will likely go unheeded. Prose needs structure and can always use an edit or another draft. This is poetry, and it's meant to be exactly the way it is.

For the record, I really did lose my mom and little brother in an accident in 2002, and I really did go to Iraq in 2004. I've lived in a few different states, a couple different countries, and now I'm back home. Life is pretty good these days (knock on wood, right?), so since I usually only write when very upset, I am now uninspired in the poetry department.

Let's keep it that way.

Thanks for visiting,

I stopped wanting to die at some point and am now more appreciative of life than ever- but I would still give it up, if I had to. Somewhat fictionalized, but based in my life.

12. Stronger reviews
I haven't figured out yet what people mean when they say things like "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." That's not quite right. Here's me trying to figure it out.

Tragedy ripped away everything I'd ever believed in, at least I thought so. Then I read about the Tao, and realized I suited it rather well. Whatever helps, right?
