I've been a writer my entire life. The addiction first slipped onto my path as far back as the second grade. I always knew I was going to write books, poetry, music and radio commercials. What I didn't prepare for was the judgement. The endless amount of guilt laid upon the prints belonging to the Poet. A signal should have sounded off somewhere. Like when the refrigerator door is left open. But like everything else in life. We all ignore the sounds of silence.
