Favorite Quote:
Preach to broken hearts and you will never lack an audience


We found out we didn’t have breaking points
Just melting points
We’ve found out that the longer we’re here nothing can throw us off
We’ve found out that we don’t merge with each other, but with memories for defensive fortitude
We’ve found out that pure metal doesn’t save you from hell
We found out why we’re rigid skeptics or desperate converters
We found out that through history
We’ve just been forming alloys


The author's comments:

This, Alloys, is a piece from my short Anthology; Human Nature. Penned in the throes of my continuous exploration of "the human condition," near the apex of my questioning of everything, during my last few years of what some may call being "a teen". It does sound strange on my tongue and mind now I must admit.

 

Just for context with the next few poems I share, from the last few generally absurd months and years, I am in the final - stages -if you will- of being 19, a somewhat interesting position I'm sure many feel, and this is what has inspired me to share while I can once again on here.

 

Who knows, maybe one of my Poems will make its way in a print Magazine.
