My name is Mark Nyman. I am 22 years old, and in May I will graduate with a Bachelor’s in English Literature and a Minor in Music. I currently work as a resident assistant for my university. I also have worked as a college writing tutor for 2 years. I have blogged for a site called the Hero Journal, which is the website for a podcast called Myrelationshipwithlove. I focused on writing about love, positivity, and hope. I was not paid for this, it was more of a hobby at the time. I excel at writing motivational poetry, themes, and other forms of writing. I support those going through sobriety and want to provide them the light at the end of the tunnel. I believe everyone needs support, and that writing is the best way to reach people’s hearts.

It sounded like a symphony. A deliciously ordinary and extravagant symphony. It was just a plain Wednesday morning during the final breaths of summer, him and I were spending the day before the next semester of university. The sounds of jubilance that filled the Market Street Grill sang to the heart like a ... Read More

Mr. Brontewell

When I heard Mr. Brontewell died I didn’t want to believe it. I couldn’t bring myself to go to church anymore, mass just wasn’t the same without him playing the piano. The psalms sounded stale without his hands. Perhaps I needed an excuse to no longer go. Perhaps my faith had never been strong from the start. ... Read More

What I found is that I first need to spread awareness in general. As I researched trying to find LGBT celebrities ... Read More

Fly Away

The sunlit earth let out of breath of relief after the rainfall of night. The green ground now soft. Martha McDowell sat on a bench in the park watching her children play. Tag, hide and seek. Candy Crush. Pokemon Go. She peered at her phone to see the time, half past noon. The children had off from school. ... Read More

The Whirlpool

The Whirlpool

Swept beneath the undertow The waters churn limiting Breath, movement, sight: paralysis. Be wept the loss of loss, From the shores of the Black sea, He did spot the Wandering Rocks, Not ready for that obstacle. But, to the west, another. Scylla keeps a watchful eye atop Of the pools of unforgiving ... Read More

The New Start

A man sits down at the kitchen table, He looks out the window and sees rain. Outside, the cold January air mixes with the damp Stench of falling rain. The new year looks no Different then any other day. The man’s dog barks with joy, he comes to the table, Wagging his tail in anticipation. The dog’s ... Read More

Dance for Myself

Dance for Myself

When did it all become so complicated? The bygone years of childhood Muddle in the mind, discombobulated. Would you go back if you could? At what age did modesty melt Into detachment and low self-esteem? When did emotion shiver. Denied to be felt? If only the damns would break and let out the ... Read More
