James Flores

Story

"You are an idiot, loser, and will never be anything more than garbage just like your mother." Along with physical and emotional abuse, my soul became cripple and my mind fractured. I found solace in using drugs, drinking, and making terrible decisions as many different people. I played guitar and wrote songs to heal the dissociated individual I am. It has been a long journey and I have written songs about love I have always wanted and desired. I am writing currently on the things I have experienced in the many personalities I am. Music is what is saving me and I wish to share with whoever wants to listen.
