Born to be reticent,
Having no flocks to goof with,
Cribbed to my home,
Daydreaming is my zone.
Sketching out personae,
I am the company of myself.
With my mouth sealed shut,
I roam my world.
I opened my eyes and looked at the world—
My thoughts are different from most.
Why can't I express?
Because I can't communicate with most.
Let the pen be my mouth,
And the words be my thoughts,
Bleeding on my paper.
I am a Poet.

I’m just an existential wanderer who happened to stumble into poetry. I think about writing more than I actually write—not the best poet, but trying to get better, word by word, as I share my thoughts and voice.

Guard Your Battery
Why are some people so attractive just by standing there? It’s not because they are "likable," but because they don’t need everyone to like them. I realized later that truly charismatic people allow themselves to be criticized, but they never criticize themselves. They never try to please the world; instead, the world stops to watch them.

Review of 'Man on the Run'
My wife and I saw Man on the Run, a nearly 2-hour documentary on Amazon Prime, about Wings, Paul McCartney's group that flew around the world from shortly after The Beatles broke up in early 1970 to shortly after John Lennon was murdered at the end of 1980, making a Beatles reunion forever impossible.

Wonderful thoughts ✨
I loved your poem. I mean a few words in each line; but expressed your entire life — You being an introvert and being a best-self company to yourself. The way to speak through your pen is something extraordinary! "Daydreaming is my zone" I loved this one, expresses your free-style and goofy solitude 😃✨
