The Diary of The Deranged Writer

Take II

Thinking about continuing is pointless
A spoke on the wheel, unseen, irrelevant
Keeper of the scythe, obtain my soul
Every road leads to this lonely void

Take (Poetry Series): I, II, III

LII: Away for a Day

Last Friday, April 17, for the first time in perhaps almost a year, I didn’t touch The Diary for a day.

For several months, I’ve been overflowing with thoughts and ideas, and I have regained my confidence in writing. When I’m on cloud nine, I write about it here. When I’m back in hell, I write about it here. No matter how I felt, I kept writing here.

And then last Friday, life happened.
