An Overture to Illumination

Below is a collection of my creative writing pieces, of prose, poetry, essays and scripts.

The world turns to dust and I think of everything I never said. I can see you right next to me, hiding in the shadows with your infiniteless wisdom. You catch your sins twelvefold in endless ashes and I wonder if you ever knew how light and how dark you made my life. I question my sanity when I realize I’m okay with being like this forever. I guess I never thought myself worthy of love, rather, I just grasp the sadness from everyone else and save them instead. I used to be your savior, but now I’m your destroyer and you can’t possibly know how much that hurts. You wear your costumes of black and blue but I can’t help but wish to roll up the sleeves to reveal the lines and scars that rise beside the horizon.
