October 23rd
I am 25 years old, but I haven't felt that young in a while. They say that sin ages the soul, and I say that proximity to evil can do the same. I have found myself amongst the best and the worst that humanity has to offer, and through it all, picked up a thing or two about life and happiness. My poems are not essays or stories. They are invitations from my heart and spirit. For now, you can only find them in the 2023 edition of Montgomery College's own literary magazine: The Red Jacket but I hope this journey continues to present the right spaces to publish more of my invitations.
