Dandelion Dancer
A dandelion is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for conforming to neat rows. They are frail; but beautiful. Lonely; yet ubiquitous.
They are so delicate; yet dandelions are a symbol of hope.
Dancers are strong, balanced, flexible and, like the dandelions, beautiful. Graceful and elegant, poised. They use their bodies to tell stories and convey every emotion.
I like to imagine a combination of these qualities in my writing.
I want my poems to be delicate but their words to ring strong.
I want my stories to be balanced and have a graceful air about them.
I want my writing to convey emotions, to be lonely and everywhere at once.
I want to be a Dandeliondancer.
Sane writer
I do not know the real reason why I write
Is this even right?
All I know is that what's inside my sane mind should be expressed
In a way some would be somehow be impressed.
I need to write down whatever is in my mind
To sort whatever the things to be left inside and things should be outside.
I write to remain sane person who has no tendency to be insane.
Meduza
In Greek mythology and in pop culture, people always portray medusa as a monster. If you actually read into her story however, you find that she is really just a victim of circumstances, Poseidon thought she was pretty so he took her to Athena's temple and raped her, then Athena was mad that her holy site had been desecrated, so she turned medusa and her sisters into gorgons.
The gorgons don't even try to kill people! They live in a desolate place that almost no one goes to and it is not their fault that people turn into stone upon viewing them.
This is my pen name because it makes people think, it is not just edgy for the sake of being edgy. The Z is to make it even more unique, since when I hand write my poetry, I do it in a font that has a really neat looking Z.

There's something wonderful
And horrible about
Standing out
You're often noticed
But not entirely sure if it's for the right reasons
You wonder if you are a gift
Or a curse
You long to belong
But you're designed,
destined to be different
A self fulfilling prophecy
The harder you try to blend in
The more you realize
You don't
Wounded Heart
My life has held good and sad times
Things I will never forget
I remember the vicious crimes
That have left me with much regret.
Two years ago, it was awful
This memory I can't erase
It definitely wasn't lawful
My happiness was displaced
I lost my parents tragically
On a warm summer's day
Their lives ended in tragedy
In a most disturbing way.
My mother was sick and frail
My father by her side
He thought their life had failed
So, He shot his beautiful bride.
In turn he committed suicide....
American Oracle
Whisper into my ear, my darling,
I will look beyond,
Ancient mountains wearing down,
To fertile plains and moonstone lakes,
Shining in a dark-light sky,
Until the peaks come again,
Jagged knives slice the sky apart,
Into the desert, sleepy with life,
And then the coast!
Beautiful land, let me tell your future,
Of the day it all comes crumbling down,
Your chrome-glass towers, your restful hills,
Underneath the glaring bomb,
Shining bright and like the sun,
Taking everything for its own,
And leaving us- nothing.
But maybe it will not be so,
And mothers will hold children, knowing,
They may close their eyes tonight.
(Heed my words; your ears decide your fate)
