Here I am again, with another blog post. Apologies for the inactivity on the blog; I haven't been in a good time of my life for the past couple of months.

Update on my life: I don't remember talking about this, but in November, I lost one of the closest people to me; my step-father. He lost a battle against liver cancer only two months after I found out. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can prepare you for the kind of pain you experience when you lose your father.

Two months later, my great-grandfather died. I hadn't had time to recover from the loss of my step-father, and I was crushed.

Not only that, but I haven't heard from a close friend of mine in over four months, and it's eating me up inside not knowing if they're okay or not.

To add onto this, I'm on academic probation at my college. If I fail this semester, I'll be booted from college.

Thankfully, I met someone here on the forums who has become my best friend; someone who takes all of my pain away.

So, that's about all I can think of to update about.

As for that poem, it's still a work in progress, but here it is:

I take the pen, look down at pages blank
I've lost my will to write since you went away.
The day you left, my inspiration did to.
Because my inspiration died the same day as you.

I take pen to paper, my feelings I release,
And oddly, the writing brings me peace.
Penning these words to your memory,
Brings unknown calm washing over me.

So, without further ado, I bid you farewell, until the next time.

Brendan.
