I showered today.
That means nothing to you
It’s an easy menial task
But the thought of seeing myself
My naked body exposed to the world
Makes me nauseous
You enjoy washing your hair
Lathering up with shampoo is relaxing
But for me it’s exhausting
Holding my arms above my head
They’re heavy and dead
The water washing down your skin
The warmth is calming for most
But to me it feels like hands touching me
Grabbing and pulling.
I had a shower today
And although to you it’s nothing
I showered despite the panic that chokes

I just write what I feel. Sometimes it’s short. Sometimes it’s long. Sometimes it rhymes. Occasionally I write stories. But mostly 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.
