    Brandon Sugar

    I am a decorated Army Combat Veteran who has served in Afghanistan and Iraq and I deal with PTSD daily. I was born and mostly raised in Jacksonville, Florida. Additionally, I  have lived in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, Fl, North Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. I am a Christian who loves finding the best in people and I use that love to create positive and uplifting artwork. In the army, my military occupation was a telecommunications specialist and always enjoyed the various ways to help people connect and communicate.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Direction Through Connection - Brandon Sugar

      The VOID

      It can consume and divide you

      At times it can drive you

      The despair and disgrace

      The void takes its place

      It feeds, feeds and feeds

      It grows rampant like weeds

      But if you don’t fight it

      You’ll end up just like it

      This empty dark place

      This hole in your space

      Will it ever go?

      You may never know

      The lessons to learn

      For knowledge you yearn

      How to beat it you ask

      This is quite a task

      Don’t let a moment contrast

      Or let life move to fast

      The void is ever near

      To the moments you hold dear

      Fight for your life

      Or end up in strife

      It cares not for your tears

      And it feeds on your fears

      Will it ever reside?

      That’s for you to decide

      Emerged

      The time has come I have arrived

      Because I have now emerged

      Through darkness greatness has derived

      My low times have now been purged

      You don’t want to participate in the glory

      Then you’re not in the success

      You’re in the success story

      Now please fade away, recluse, and recess

      I’m going to shine bright

      And let the whole world see

      All the awesome in my life

      Come now and join me!

      Lift your arms, raise your glass

      Tonight we celebrate

      All the bad times have passed

      And now

      Enjoying the preview?
