A blog for all self-identified dreamers, wanderers, mystics, misfits, and nerds–basically anyone who chooses "the road less traveled" consistently. Featuring original poetry, as well as prose posts on topics ranging from theology and politics to pop culture, mental health, and living with disabilities.
O cruel fate
Temptress of our desires
Am I destined
To be there
Silent and strong
To see and to hear
Of the joy in lives
Of others
To even play
A part
However small
In joining lovers
Destined by the
Stars to be
Yet not be held
In that warm embrace
Myself
My name is Devin Hogg. I was born and raised in Carnarvon, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 2009 for university and lived here ever since. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, going on long walks, swimming, and practicing Chen style Tai Chi. I love to write poetry and blog regularly about topics such as mental health, sci-fi/fantasy series, faith, sexuality, and politics. View more posts

\”In joining lovers.\”Also, depressing much? Please tell me these poems represent one day of self-pity and not your general attitude.

Well not just one day of self-pity–it's a pretty recurring attitude but not my general attitude, no.

Recurring how often? And yeah, I didn't actually think it was one day of self-pity…I have been talking to you recently, after all.

Well it's a common recurrence but not a regular recurrence–ie it recurs pretty often but not at an easily determinable pattern. And it comes in different degrees. Almost everyday there's a depressing thought in relation to it but it's quickly dismissed. Anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks there's the occasional funk where it occupies my thoughts for a longer period of time and it can be anywhere from a few minutes to an hour–but I generally snap myself out of it and there's usually only a few tears so all's good. 😀
