So, I’ve been busting my butt trying to write something of worth lately. I’m looking all over the place for inspiration, but coming up a little short handed. Everything i’ve written in the past has come from a sad or dark time in my life. Usually they all have to do with love or lack there of. I, in my opinion, produce my best work in those types of states. However, as of lately I’ve been pretty happy. Which is a good thing for as a person, but has left me kind of lost as a writer. I’m thinking I’m going to have to switch up my writing style. Maybe pick another “genre”, if you will.

I’m so used to the romance and heartbreak, I’m not sure if I would know good content from the latter if I tried to write it. Nevertheless, I’m going to go ahead and give it a shot. Trust me though, I probably won’t post anything of the sort until I’m sure it’s something that won’t embarrass me. I don’t think I could handle the rejection. (laughs nervously) 

Hopefully it won’t be too long until something of the sort is posted up here, but until then, I’ll throw some of the other stuff I’ve written up in the works section. Tonight I was able to finish a poem I’d been working on for a while. “Street Lights” was started a little over a year ago when I was in the process of getting a divorce. It was a dark place in my life and the moment hit me one night while I was outside finding solace in a cigarette. It’s taken me so long to finish it only because my wife and I ended up reconciling and the poem was unfinished at the time. I found it the other day and decided I would reflect on the situation and finish it. Hope you enjoy. Until next time…
