Profile
I am a member of Many Nations tribe and my tribal name is Word Warrior. I see myself as a spokesperson for the mentally ill, homeless, abused and all the other people who are hiding in the shadows and falling through the cracks. I use my writing and my artwork to show that these people are three dimensional, real human beings. I am mentally ill and know many of the mentally ill who are now homeless. I know what it is like to be abused. I try to make a difference with my work. I believe we need to love to change the world. The most influential thing I ever encountered was written on a calender when I was a child. It said “All We know of love is that love is all there is”.

Yes.
I am a victim. Although I have an incurable illness: It is true that I am sick. But I am not weak.

The Malice of Spring

The little princess
clockwork-perfection what women are meant to be, idolized. a bribe for lies a doll for a doll.. / for a child. / not, a person.
The Glory of Sunday Blue
One honey-sweet, sunny Sunday / Snowy white Spires cresting cumulus castles- It was so blazingly, amazingly Blue All strewn-out, sown-about, in the wandering waves of the sapphire space sea
THE END
Icicle tears In patterns like a lace Time dissapears I brace for the blast.
