Short: Why And I Type


How many arguments will I have with the wind?

Rehashing the offenses given and received?

Lying out my case before an imaginary court,

Passionate defenses, argued to an empty room?

Why does my mind drift toward these rocks, when I want to be out on the open sea?

Even now, I can hear an academic, a real prick, critique my words,

the use of three different metaphors in just seven lines.

And nonetheless, I type.

I am a writer and artist in the early stages of my trek. I spent 20 years trying to be who I thought I needed to be, and now I am running after who I am. Fearless Grit is my space to document and share the process.
