there's so much social pressure
that's how we get beautiful people
they look like gods on the outside
to hide scarred children on the inside
they forgot how to be real
we idolize zombies
form fictitious friendships
laying our souls on the table
for people who will never see us
we put ourselves on display
for moments of fleeting fame
our internet personas grow up before we do
too afraid of our feelings
keep our traumas behind us
so we can pretend to be perfect
only perfect people are loved
doesn't it make you feel sorry
for the rich and famous
not me
About the Creator

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.
