DKMH

"This, the minutia; my life.

I am a STALLION; bipolar.

I just reached contact with a lost nation; another person. A different relation.

A different time and a different patience.

As if I’ve cried in a dream, woken up screaming; then settled in the sheets.

I find both connection and softness. A lost tension, now tempered with aged awareness."

Dacre Montgomery

I want to thank my Mother and my Love for giving me the courage.

My entire life I have felt fragile. Overexposed, especially as a child.

I felt I had a softness. Like I had no shield from the emotional intensity of the world. Both in a good way and a bad way.

I felt profoundly affected by even the smallest of things.

I suffered from terrible anxiety.

I knew not how to harness this energy. The energy I would later discover was the most powerful and valuable thing in the entire world.

When I was younger, I didn’t have the outlets that I have today. I lacked work ethic. I didn’t play sports or exercise. I had no independence to discover what these feelings meant.

Granted, that discovery has manifested itself in different ways over the years . .
