Anybody Would

written by: Katie Lewington

@lewington_katie

we are all attracted,
glaringly so
to the morally wrong

who chose the morals of our society anyway?

we need to have an opinion
to authorise our presence in a group
gossip not enough
this is abominable
this is wrong
etc.etc.etc.
attention grabbing headlines
the wives are scandalized

we all want to be loved
I'm not talking about sex

we crave affection
attention
a safe place to be understood.

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
