Today, I am officially, by definition, a professional writer. I was paid for an article, and the paper I write for provided it to the public today.
Momentous.
I feel...so proud.


StarvedI am starved,Starved
Not starved like a baby after a four-hour nap,
Not starved like a puppy on the street with nobody to feed it,
Not starved like a rail-thin anorexic who's had nothing to eat but a few diet pills in three days,
But just emotionally ravished.
Starved like a small child who's never gotten a hug,
Starved like a dog that wanders the back-alleys completely alone,
Starved like the anorexic that saw the beautiful girl in the magazine and decided she had to live up to that perfect image,
I am starved.


CharcoalCharcoal,Charcoal
Color of the swirling abyss, the smudge on the nose of a third-world baby, the heart of a close-minded dictator,
reek of toxic fumes out of factory chimneys, taste of mud after a painful nose-dive, stentch of burning rubber in an old junk yard,
The destruction of our society,
Ash, barrel of a shotgun, shrinking pupil of a terrified child,
Gloom, death, oblivion,
Charcoal.
