Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to be an outlet for my self-expression. In the beginning, the purpose was to share thoughts of metaphysical nature. However, it has now become an outlet for my observations of humanity, a place to share my poetry (a big step for me), and a place to have voice. My poetry is often dark, introspective, and brutally honest. I write for myself then I make it available for others to see. If I wrote with an audience in mind, I wouldn't be as open and honest. I feel that most of us are afraid of the truth - the truth of who we are and how we really feel. We mask our true feelings until we don't recognize them for what they are. We hide from things we don't want to see until we no longer see them, whether it is a homeless person we pass on the street or the faces and suffering behind the food on our plates. This is a place for honesty. Of course, there is some restraint. Although I can have quite a colorful vocabulary, the colors will not be so bright here :). Anyway, the point is that I am drawn to going below the surface and looking deeper. Personally, I have many layers, and one could spend a lifetime trying to peel them. I rarely share my thoughts and feelings with others. Some would say I'm "quiet", while some may think I never shut up. LOL. I don't want to bring anyone down with what I write. I love my fellow earthlings :)!
