i let you use me.
don’t judge.
i did it for the poetry.
i did it for the darkness in me
that needs to be fed in lies
the devil in my mind
who needs your manipulation.
i opened the door
so you can make my scars deeper
and I can no longer pretend they don’t exist
because the pus seeps out of my open wounds
when you touch them.
i got down on my knees
because I knew you wouldn’t care
so I could sit and wallow
in my own pain
that you never created
but now I am allowed to feel.
i did it for the poetry.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
