\nI know my flaws
\nHolding on to the darkness
\nAs I step out of the light
\n 
\nI did everything I ever did
\nI own up to it too
\nNever hiding behind a phrase
\n 
\n“The devil made me do it”
\nNot in my vocabulary
\n 
\nGood
\nEvil
\nNever satisfied
\nEither way
\nI keep them both hungry
\n 
\nSometimes I recognize myself
\nOthers I don’t
\nThe times in between
\nAre madness
\n 
\nSchizophrenic tendencies
\nOf a multi-faceted gem
\n 
\nI fuel myself with whiskey
\nFight
\nDrink
\nFuck
\n 
\nYet my heart is full of empathy
\nForgive
\nForget
\nLove
\n 
\nMany different faces
\nMany different masks
\n 
\nHobo lullabies
\nRich man dreams
\nCommando stain pants
\nFresh clean shirt<\/strong>
\n <\/p>\n

\n I fancy myself as a bard & wordsmith, madman, artist, free thinker, cat lover, hat lover, owl enthusiast, and crystal collector. My poems have been featured in print form on two separate occasions. My poem “A Philosophical Treasure Chest” was picked for the anthology ‘Where the Mind Dwells’ after wining a submission contest, and five of my poem submissions were accepted to be in ‘Tribute-Pirates Anthology’ by Writing Knights Press. Some of my poetry has also been in the pages of various online magazine publications. Poetry Blog: http:\/\/ jdcivskeletonsfrommycloset. blogspot.com\/ <\/strong>
