Handprints on my eyes
A tear in the skies
Slow burning and stinging
Such a familiar feeling
Lavaflow burning my legs
Pulling me down, it begs
Black and white noise and needles
Scratching and stretching my coil
A single face etched in mind
My skin covered in boiling oil as I think of the void below me
Ready to set me back up just to fall in again
I'm set up once more
this time a new door
I brace for the impact,
not ready to fall again
wondering just exactly when;
Did I sign a different pact?
A hand reaches out, it begs;
About the Creator

I'm here to get better and to be human. I want to fail and learn and get better and become a stronger human and writer because of it. It will be mostly poems until my book is done. After that, who knows?
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
