Kale Darkwind

     The name is Kale, Kale Darkwind. I am 22 years old and I live in the USA. I have been writeing my entire life, it is how I escape this rotten world we live in, it is where I find peace.

     At the age of 14 I realized I was different from everyone else, that I saw more than others that I did not think the way others did. This was a tough realization. All up untill this time and clear through until I was 17 everyone made fun of me, picked on me, laughed at me. Why? Because I was different, I cared about others, I was there for others.

     The issue is that I love people, I care about people, at the time I didn't know why, that realization came much later. I felt others pain extreamly well, more than I should have, and every time I wasn't the source of the joke, and someone else was, I felt it.

     By the time I was 17 I had been studying Magick and all sorts of things arcane, I became highly interested in Psychic ability, and started to learn about them.

     I realized why I felt so much. I am an empath, I feel other's emotions as my own. On top of all this, I had the ability to manipulate them, manipulate people, and basicly have my way all of the time.

     This wreaked havoc on me, and since then I have been trying to atone. The people I hurt, the people I helped, all seemed like it was part of some sceam to destroy me completely from the inside out.

     But after getting a taste of helping people, I couldn't stop, and well that got me thinking, the entire time I had been writing Poetry and other things, through all my struggles, through EVERYTHING.

      Around 18, I started doing peotry readings, and talking to people about issues in there lives. People always seem to pour out there life storys to me. And I always seemed to write about it.

     After a year of doing this I compiled it all into Sanity's Requiem. My hope is that people out there will read it, and understand, that no matter how bad they feel, no matter how alone they feel, they realy never are alone.

     I believe that everything that I went through, every pain, every rough time, the joy and the sorrow, the sadness and greif, was all so that I could connect to people, to talk to them on there level, to tell them that there IS someone who knows how they feel and they are not alone.

     My goal is that as I write, and as people read what I have written, that they will understand this. That at least someone even if it is just one person, will benifit from what happend to me.
