Eternal Pollution of a Dented Mind

Description

"I am not a poet I just write. These pieces are a collection of my musings and it is the first time that I am publishing my writing without drawings, photos or paintings to accompany the words. This is very scary since I see myself primarily as an artist but these pieces are about the soul, life, s**t, rubbish, beauty, love, hate, mental confusion, light and darkness. You might wonder if they are autobiographical but I will remain mute regarding that detail since I have a fervent imagination and what is truth anyway?

Something very dubious if you ask me.

Just read and see where the words take you."
