A Collection Of Thoughts is everything to me. It includes nearly all the poetry, prose, and a good chunk of the things that went through my head in highschool that I deemed worth writing down.

Poetry

Words of Wisdom

And Personal Discoveries

From A Young Philosopher

Affectionately Known

As Iz

With special thanks to Todd Wolter

For believing in me

And pushing me to do my very best

Northbound Highway

Dead phone, dead car

Outta gas, outta charge

spontaneous. If people are more upbeat, I step back and become

more self-absorbed.

I remember days at the park

shootin hoops in the dark

determined to get it all down

Initiative without action is an idea

Writing is important because it allows people to grasp the same

idea or knowledge as you. Even if the wording isn’t perfect, if

they take the piece as a whole, they can feel what
