Poetry from heaven.
I want to write a poem about self awareness. I want to say something real about life, but nothing makes sense. I love God, but I am not a Christian. I’ve literally studied everything from Islam to fricken Scientology! All I know is this there’s something out there. I’m atheist, I’ve been since 2002. Its now almost 2020. I’m forty years old. I question death. Sometimes, I’m afraid, sometimes I don’t care. My struggle with addition and AA has helped me, but I still don’t know where I belong. Plus I am bisexual and will always be. I support the LGBTQ community since my stint at Marymount Manhattan college (2000-2004). I support the gay community. I support gay marriage. Its literally a civil rights issue. Plus, my wife is beth, and I love Hollywood. Damn religion and separation of gays. Damn church rules. Damn counseling. Its about self awareness, acceptance, and being who you are.
Read some of my stuff and see if it sends you down the path to writing that poem.
