Joe’s Emo Poem
I’m stuck in purgatory,
you have my ticket out
but forgot to give it to me.
-
A lifeless metal shell
grey colorless terrain.
Words flash past in whirls and puffs,
electrified progress trains
-
I’m glued to the ground—
trapped, waiting to be free.
Why won’t you notice me?

I like to share my art and writings, whether it's silly or serious. I'll also feature a comic I work on called Writing Whoas, which is about the joys and hardships of being a writer. Stick around to laugh or cry.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”
