Consider what my eyes hold,
My social stature non-exists,
My self worth a lie upon itself,
Miss understood by my own mind I lay here alone in my hole dug by my own hands,
Secreting a pheromone mildly toxic,
The world trembles as it falls,
My voice not heard,
My frame not ample,
A window instead of a mirror,
An ego without understanding,
Subject my lies,
Refuse my eyes,
Let me realise,
That tomorrow,
My tomorrow,
Means more to me than it does to you,
For your tomorrow will still exist,
If mine does not,
But if your tomorrow fails to be there,
It matters little to you,
If mine does…

People are surprised when reading Matthew’s stories that he’s a sane forty something year old, happily married, father of one, employed full time, who dreams of dark disturbing things that any sane person would never even contemplate thinking of. But it's true, he’s toyed with writing for most of his adult life, but has always found the peg a writer must fit into is not the shape he wished to be. His writing can be described as lamenting, long, concussive (yes it smashes you in the head), compulsive, and stuffed with rhythmic communication and violence, let’s not forget the violence. His own opinion on his writing is this, “You see, I don't just want the words to seep into your mind, but into your soul, showing you images of blood and beauty through, volatile language, violence, sex, love and sin. My muse takes different shapes, and every now and then you can see her shining her wicked smile in some of my stories, tempting you with her promises, but ripping your heart out instead.”
So have a look, and take a seat in my wayward ride, as you join me while I purge through, this twisted road of madness.
