And its just frustrating
not knowing how to reach you
with you dismissing every little line i draw
where is this going
why are we here
do you have a plan
am i in it
and if there is no plan
why the carrot and the stick

A crusade against rigid rationalism, the Sturm und Drang movement had always interested me as a writer. It marked an era in which self-expression was paramount, an era in which one’s darkest emotions and most triumphant accomplishments could be celebrated with explosive honesty and sincerity. It honed in on our desire to express our most troubling and persistent feelings without succumbing to the soothing detachment of empiricism and emotionless objectivity. Sturm und Drang, traditionally translated as “Storm and Stress” or “Storm and Urge” is thus the pinnacle of individual subjectivity and free expression.
