Fallen to the ground
Buried in reality, needing to distract
Distracted from the things that matter most
*
Informed only after of the consequences
*
Silently struggling but no one sees
*
Turning the head the other way, lost in distractions of their own.
*
Reality is all there is to life, boring and mundane
*
Acknowledging the past and making new mistakes
*
Continuing to move forward to no avail
*
Thinking that distracting myself enough will get me through life
*
Incredulous that no change happens, no matter how hard we try
*
Open to new suggestions, but the new ones are the same old
*
Nevertheless, I am tired and need to be distracted.

I write short fiction when I have time. There are also elements of my life interwoven with fantasy that I incorporated into my writing. I also like the unknown, so enter into the dark, true, and mysterious if you dare...

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
