October Rust by Type O Negative π₯ππ
(I wrote this when I was only 21) Released on August 20th, 1996, through Roadrunner Records, the self-produced October Rust by Type O Negative is without a doubt my favorite album of all-time.

Bookshelf of a bipolar
I am overwhelmed with books I'd like to get around to reading, but besides my music on Spotify, my sketchbook, and my acrylic paints, this is how I get by on limited social interaction. So, I felt like sharing my library with you to give you an idea of how and where my brain works. … Continue reading Bookshelf of a bipolar
“The Jewels” by Charles Baudelaire
My darling read my heart, for she left on Only her chains and bracelets and her beads, The powerful regalia of one Who knows the way a potentate is pleased. A glimpse of Paradise in beaten gold Whose tantalizing music leaves me stunned, For I am often easily beguiled When subtle lights and sounds are … Continue reading “The Jewels” by Charles Baudelaire
I write words to have a friend
Oh, illness you are crushing me Death's door begs to open for me Brain I cannot handle Strangles my brain, scrambled Hurts, the pain rambles Voices, not my friends Where are my friends?

Bipolar tweeting
Acid reflux, nausea, and oversleep-ing... these are a few of my favorite things. Isolating, spending, and overthink-ing... these are a few of my favorite things. Sociopaths, addicts, and one-time flings... these are a few of my favorite things. Sobriety, appointments, and medication dings... these are a few of my favorite things. (Still working on a … Continue reading Bipolar tweeting
Teenage poetry
Cobainesque 2003 (15 years old) It eats away the outer layer Leaving me in the cold It's difficult to open my eyes They're entrapped in mold My days have become shorter My nights do not exist I bite the dead skin off of me Something I just cannot resist The cries of emptiness swim inside … Continue reading Teenage poetry
