In silence I will stand

the Man that I am
somewhere to hide away
while you're alive
sleep
why can't I simply accept?
Not lonely
A Wisp of Smoke
a man I'll never be
If I said you were beautiful
To Be Who We Are
Roller-coaster Ride
So Tired
explore
the music died
naive
this fight is mine
memories of another day
nothing to you
Give Away
Me
Don't know if I want to do this Anymore
How Old?
Me
all the Same
record albums
I see myself
holier than I am ?
not going to write anymore
not going to write anymore (2)
Poppy
What if ?
Mistake ?
Worry
My Aged Eyes
guy (tempoem)
57 now
worker bee
no place to go
empty closet?
lazy
Always the Joker
the battle
Please make your choice from this list
Who shall I be today?
sitting with yourself
messages
please remember me
growing old
Casanova
man I now see
Accomplished
growing old is ...
Curtain Call
Lost
Proud I am Me
Self Inflicted Writers Block
Throat Lozenge
I Will Understand
In Front of You
reflection
leave my shit alone
once again ...
i quietly stand
a shell of a man
i used to be me
i've been beaten down
cast constant frowns
constantly turned around
a withered tree
i used to exist
but what trick is this

in spite of it all


in spite of all the times I said I would stop writing


in spite of all of the times

I just wanted to stand up

and fucking yell

like 

I have never yelled before


"WHY DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME?"


Its not that I am looking for attention

and

surely

I don't give a fuck about

hot lists 

and 

rankings

and popularity


its simply that


I miss you


I miss waking in the morning

and

checking my notifications


smiling

as I answer each and every one

and

I did

answer each and every fucking one of them

no matter

how long it took


I miss

the conversations

and

the inspiration

that we gave

each other


you all know who you are ...

owain

seas

knight

gail

rose


remember

the Core


remember

we all started the same time

and 

we all supported each other

and 

pushed each other

to be the best we could


I guess you don't


i feel sometimes like a boat

adrift

on a sea


alone


in spite of all of that


in spite of the sadness


there are 

still smiles


the past may have moved on

but

the now


they inspire me to keep writing


bella

alice

pizzarobot

queen

jeshi

liabe

lyttlejoe

ashley

simon

angel

annie

charolette

andrew

crazy

kae

sonakshi

rue

rona

gaza


and the list goes on


you have become my new

inspiration

my reason to move on


I love to write

and

I write for me first

but 

I also

write for you


and


in spite of all that I may say


I will continue

'till my dying day
