I'm Will Schenck.

Conversation was my first love. Conversation, via all mediums.

My heart has chosen a few more subjects of its adoration, over the years.
My brain disagrees with some of them.
But others make more sense. Almost too much.

I am synchronized with the reverberations of my fretboard, of it's six strings, and of the body below those, all three of which are encompassed by the the word "Guitar."

I like words. Perhaps this branches off of my love for conversation. Regardless, once in a blue moon, I will put together some words that sound crisp together, slap a title on it, and call it a poem.
Maybe twice in a blue moon.

I am controversy.
Not controversial.
I am controversy incarnate.

In my mind, the gift of music stands on a pedestal far higher than that of anything else. It is my one consistent tether to the anti-reality.

Soon Enough...

Soon enough, I will write again.
I have been through quite a bit of trauma this past week.
Last Sunday, the 13th, my 16-year old step-sister committed suicide.
My family, my friends, and thousands of people from my community have been effected by this death.
Everything has just been... so much.
I've written snippits.
And right now in this stage, sitting down and making myself write just doesn't seem plausible.
I'm not ready to relive everything, for the umpteenth time.
Soon enough, though, I will peel away the band-aids now stopping the blood flow of the deepest of wounds, and will mend to them with poetic disinfectant.
I will be okay, though, for all of you bound to ask "are you okay?"
I am not okay now.
However I've just returned from my school's homecoming football game.
Spent some time with some good friends.
Simply talking, and being near people I care about is helping me though this.
This has been the worst week of my life.
But it could have been much worse.
I apologize for my omission of details.
But divulging them would not only be difficult for me, but it seems as if it would be irrelevant to do so for you folk.
Don't misunderstand.
Ahh, I'm rambling on.
The point is, I will return with new pieces soon.
I can't say what they will be about.
I have a few pieces in the works.
I'm not sure how they will turn out.


A permanently wet cheek
Our hearts have lost,
A piece this week
Our lives have lost,
A light this week
Rest in peace
Our Emily.
