Easter

What have you tried in life that you just weren't very good at? I've tried on a few faces in my time (it makes me sound wise), and I realized that you can't change what is. I realized that I'm not good at forgiveness. That even though I want t...

The Second Child: Poems

This is yet another book of Poetry from me. I swear the other two books I’m currently reading are not of poetry. This is called, “The Second Child” by Deborah Garrison. I found this book, basically by browsing the Poetry section at Chapters, and...
