Expired 4/22/25

May 14, 2025May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment



How fourteen years can change everything.
Just like my passport, I’ve expired- I’m done.
The dull sinking darkness in my heart is settled.
The vapid void of joy is instilled deep in my soul.
Nestled within my being is a shame I can’t shake...

Protected: Behind My Fingers [REBOOT]

Someday, Change [Video]

September 16, 2024May 23, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Waiting for things to get better on their own doesn't work out well.

At what point do I find the answers and ability to
behave like a functioning, respectable member of society?
When do I learn to conquer my daily demons and grow?

Resistance is Futile [Video]

September 14, 2024May 23, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

No one can escape the passage of time.

Even the most fearful avoidance of the
future’s arrival fails to remove its approach;
resistance is futile.

Neurofeedback Meditation [Video]

September 10, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Poetic reflections after a neurofeedback session.

Hesitation holds my hands immobile at the lack of planned direction.
Taps from tips of fingers on keys, this new flow of script plays like a
first piano lesson: slow, forced, and without rhythm.

Five Months of Gratitude [Video]

September 2, 2024May 23, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Reflections on being 6 months sober.

Now I have the chance to look forward to holidays,
weddings, dates, anything else that comes my way.
It brings a cautiously warm smile to my soul.

Accept Yourself [Video]

August 29, 2024May 22, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Exploring mindful happiness.

Happiness is what remains when you let go of the need for control, and instead accept yourself and the world around you- as it is now, not how it “should be.”

Rhyme Zone Dot Com [Video]

August 25, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A silly poem I wrote about hating the confines of using rhymes in poetry.

Creativity strains to push these words,
I fear my muse has gone with the birds,
to fly away and hide from me.
Tell me, God, what’s this blasphemy
that my pen is forced to write in rhyme?
I’d call it childish any other time.

At Least For Now- Part 2 [Video]

Part 2 of "At Least for Now"

So at least for now, I am loved.
At least for now, I am worth it.
At least for now, I can say I'm giving myself a shot.
Words are powerful and so are stories.

Dwindling Attention [Video]

August 7, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A random journal entry, testing out new microphone set up. I like the audio results but it takes SOOO much more time.

I find the encouraging comments on my videos
very motivating and heartening that in my
meager content I'm still connecting with people.

A Morning Lullaby [Video]

A lullaby I wrote for my insomnia-assed brain.

... make it or give up.
Can all this really be enough?

Cold Currents [Video]

July 20, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Hungover and yet still ready to party.

Autumn's cold currents augment
A tally in negative addition
To the collection of empty cans and capsules
Once poured out in hollow hope of
Contentment, concentration, or completion

Tu Me Connais [Video]

June 30, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

My 7th grade class had meetings on Bullying, but people thought It wasn't affecting me... It hurt.

"What about kids like Drew?
He doesn't care, he smiles and laughs,
Surely he isn't hurt!"
She spoke up against them for me,
"You don't know that!"
They sure know about me now.

A Watery Swallow [Video]

June 10, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A high school betrayal that lead to months of fighting, I still have some bitterness towards it.

That's all I’ve ever been to you,
a watery swallow of the same old ale.
You hold me by my long slender neck
and tip me back, choking down my life.

The Silence [Video]

June 6, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

My poem, "The Silence" based off the calmest state of effortless mindfulness I've ever encountered. Truly a beautiful experience.

It comes as the gentle caress of opening a window in a stale, warm room.
A whispering reminder that fresh-air and insight are the same thing.

The Fall [Video]

June 4, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Video of my poem "The Fall." It explores the difficulty of observing your thoughts mindfully and the discipline it takes to act in a wholesome manner.

Seeing that the water approached a fall,
you screamed out from the riverbed
a warning that filled your mouth with dirt.

Still Now but Never Now [Video]

June 1, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

My mindfulness insight during a particularly scatter-brained session.

To be made free and original every moment detaches me
from the burden of believing I am permanently defined by past,
each second I am free to be whatever I desire or need.
Shame and doubt have no hold on a moment freshly spawned.

Memory’s Shadow [Video]

May 28, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A poem written for my late grandmother and how I always viewed her as my Grandfather's shadow.

He never took notice of the woman
For which the room now grieves.

She was his grandfather's shadow,
The face that smiled behind his smiling eyes
Now puddled behind curved glass.

A Turquoise Morning

As the sun rises outside,
I find myself awake again,
shamelessly writing silly words
that paint pictures in my brain.

Why should it be hard to find
the right words to write?
My words seldom fail me so.

I'm spread out in bed again

The Kid Who Believed

May 16, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I had more patience with my muse back then. I wouldn't touch pen to paper before I had fully plotted out what to say and how. I would sit and wait contently for the right words and sounds.
