QotD: "There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going." -Beverly Sills

I’ve spent all of my life trying my hardest not to fail

And everything about me has the scars to tell.

I blind-folded myself and tight-roped my way.

I guess living like this is just another phase.

So vulnerable, so open to these contradictions.

I see all the sand as it pours from the glass--

"Opportunity’s here! Take it or just let it pass?"

Can’t make what I don’t take,

But what I don’t take is what I hate.

"Once upon a time" when everything was crystallized...

Now it’s nothing but tear-filled eyes.

Walking under trance with this badge on my chest:

"Stand for something." I hope it best.

Just a random poem. Thought you guys could see it. I think I tried posting it once, but failed. I'm not really sure.

So, I have so much stuff that I'm working on! So many books and even a screen play! I'm jumbled, but in th best way possible. It's a good time strain, I swear. Anyway, here's a list of what I'm working on:

The Underground: A book about a group of kids who regulate the underground punk scene. I'm trying something new with this book; I'm putting people I know in it. I'm just using first names and it should be interesting.

Savor Every Moment Of This: A screenplay that revolves around these three musicians who run away in a super-old van. I'm not honestly sure how this one will go. I'm slightly inexperienced in the sp area, but I guess it's working.

Safety Pins and Rubber Bands: My bi-weekly zine for writers. I think I might just do 10 editions of this, but so far it's nice, because I don't feel this enormous time crunch with it.

Untitled for now: So, there's this girl who moves in with a foster family after the police discover her dad beat her. Basically, she falls for the younger son, who's the lead singer of Suicidial Education, but also happenes to have an eating disorder. I highly doubt I'll finish this once, even if I am in chapter two.

So, that's basically it for now. Oh, Thursday I ran off the road while driving and in to my neighbor's yard. I almost drove through their house. Please don't ask.

Without taking shortcuts, I am
