| Introduction | Water chokes me, fire melts me like a plastic, wind dries my eyes, and earth feeds on my flesh. Concrete peels my callus, gravity bends to trip me, light stains my skin, and darkness plays my mind. People interrogate me, the Devil maliciously pries me of innocence, God works his mysteries to test me, and you...you try to understand me. So I'll give you the basics of what you haven't yet uncovered. I sit in my room bleeding melodies from the crooked, broken fingers that tap the guitar, scribble poems, sketch my fears, and break everything that's not mine. I sleep on my rugged carpet that rubs my knees raw, envelopes dropped staples, and stains of my carelessness. I chew pencil ends with my less than perfect teeth that shift slightly from time, grind of worry and stress, puncture my cheeks with uncoordinated habits, and contain my impulsive words. I talk too much and never listen enough. I make accomplishments and I make mistakes. I am real and I'm just like you. And so, because the elements are against me and nature has declared war, take a seat and embrace the great indoors. |
