Been a while since I’ve been online. Just moved from Venice Beach, CA to Kansas City, MO. Originally in pursuit of love and happiness, I received the opposite in a sense.
Rather, I gained a fresh start in life that was much needed.

I was just published in the following classy underground magazine. I request that you read it to keep the underground above water and sincerely ask for your support. Much thanks to Paul Corman Roberts.

The service Industry I’m not sure how I came to that conclusion as a little girl when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up that the logical answer was “a cocktail waitress at Caesar’s Casino in Vegas.” Now, at thirty-two, I’d just received my uniform for the hotel cocktail waitress position I once thought would be elegant and glamorous. As an adult, I’d been in marketing positions with various corporate companies since I was out of high school. After being chained to a desk and departing ...

Speaking to you is like plucking eyebrows tiny sensations of pain over and over again, pulling out hair one strand of dignity at a time, just to look a little better Hearing your voice is an abscess reminder of going away and inflamed tension that takes me weeks to get over, while my mind attempts to rewind and replay each word, syllable and consonant Staring at you is like a reflection of ones self in an addiction be it a bottle or mirror, It’s a truth too hard to swallow and too difficult t...

I ran from Judas’ kiss as a child I embraced him turning my cheek as an adult Betrayed led astray I give in too easily to doubt I beg stones for bread unable to live alone and I have starved for so many days and nights My friends Sacrificed next to me being less pettily thefted lives I saved souls never believing the truth in lies Into your hands, I commend my spirit Lift me above, please

My tendency to wake up in the middle of the night strikes again With the blinds up and the window open I lay in bed like a faithful dog, staring at street lights resembling the star that led Joseph and Mary to the manger I watch signals slow, stop and go pass without traffic The sign continually says don’t walk with a steady red hand, like me it does not blink I see leaves rustle without sound and pitch black sleep far and wide I think of you And decide to take two chewable melatonin, then sw...

749 words isn't actually that long. I think a little bit of a description beforehand would be great - sort of like the backcover of a book - what are we stepping into here - a better way to attract those who want to read this type of genre. I think it is very impressive that you have completed this and are so dedicated to your writing. I would encourage you to continue and review what you've written with proper edits. The more you channel out there the better the results.
