Explorations of Depravity, Intrusive Thoughts, and Grief
The Human Condition
A raw, direct reflection on the fall of man, the distortion of human nature, and the ultimate need for divine restoration. The fall of Adam resulted in the depravity of humanity. Everything has been impacted: emotions, will, and mind.
Thoughts Of Intrusion
An exploration of the exhausting reality of intrusive thoughts. This poem is highly personal and a snapshot of what drove me to faith. Thoughts of Intrusion captures the emotions and the sad reality of experiencing intrusive thoughts: “You can’t run away from your own mind.”
This House Is Empty
A visceral exploration of grief and the emptiness you feel after the departure of a loved one. I wrote this poem after my brother’s death in February 2025. This House Is Empty is honest, vulnerable, and personal.
