The Man With Darts for Eyes

Fear. I thought that there was someone who I could trust and then they became someone I didn't know anymore. I had to leave I had to get out, but once I did, they continued to stare. This fear and paranoia that I felt inspired me to write this piece because I've finally gotten out the lingering feeling. It just needed to get out, and I needed to move on. This piece is about a wandering man, who doesn't belong in most places because he brings others down, though in reality, this person also brings themselves down. I find that getting stared at is terrifying to me and it occurred to me that all these bottled up feelings could become, "The Man With Darts for Eyes". I had to write it down, and the ideas came pouring out and my pencil continued moving and my train of thought was like a waterfall with no end in site.

In the moment when I start to create things, it usually has to do with trying to capture a fleeting feeling. This in turn allows me to feel a bit relieved and other times it can feel like a nice escape from the world, as I can create my own little universe. As I've grown, I've wanted to share it.
