here's my latest and greatest.

A year ago,
I didn't know your name.

A year ago,
I did not know your face.

A year ago,
I passed by you in the hall without giving you a second thought.

A year ago,
I did not know the pleasure and delight you could bring to me.

I did not know the things you could show me.

The things you could teach me.

But now,

I see life through your eyes.

I feel your pain and suffering.

I now know why you choose to hide from the world
in the darkness and shadows you enclose yourself in.

I receive your knowledge
in the pleas you send out.

I now know more than the good side.

I am exposed to the evils.

And it kills me.

But still, I choose to be with you.

*this was inspired by, and is dedicated to, an accidental friend. One who I would never in a millions years wish that I hadn't become friends with. I think you know who you are. (p.s. sorry if I twisted things a bit. It's my imagination, you know?)

New Talents Arising!!

"My breathing stuttered, my eyes widening at the silence. My whole body shook, from my head to my toes like a wave of fear washing through me, electrifying my veins and frying my nerves. I felt numb. Maybe this was my body's form of defense. Go numb, because then I can't feel anything. At least I'd die painlessly..."

This is just one paragraph from an exciting novel hopefully coming to you in the next couple of years. This is an ultra-sneak preview of a new work by a new talent. Mataia Watkins started this new novel this year (2009), and has already knocked out the brains of several of her peers with her amazing writing. Mataia hopes to finish her first draft this summer, and she hopes to eventually get the book out in stores.

Look for Freeze, and feel the compassion and love that Mataia Watkins's story will instill in your heart forever!
