feel me? I'm here inside where you can't see but you can feel me I hang out in your darkest thoughts you nourish me with secrets you hide from the world thoughts I set free from time to time to your despair and sorrow and then pleasure and ecstasy no matter how strong no matter how deep you hide your secrets I am more obsessed I am more formidable I sup on your private desires I use them to drive you off that cliff your darkness stimulates me I gorge on it it is my nourishment like flowers need the rain I am more evil than your darkest gremlins it is to me you owe for hush-hush gratifications you disavow my presence but you know where to find me when certain feelings crawl up your spine it is me you seek out when you could do with a push and a shove telling you it is okay to do that and even that especially that the unthinkable is thought of and acted upon when we team up don't be so high and mighty looking down your nose without me you are a husk a man with principles the man your momma wanted you to be but you have me your inner sanctum ~ Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. ~ |

Aw, you got me on this one. You're working for the Dept Of Inner Sanctum I know you are. I wish I knew me like you know you....I'm only jealous. You're a very gifted writer hope it never goes to your bean cause it's great the way you are. I look forward to your diVERSEified rambles. Eric Forget the Psychiatrists they just find out all about you and sell you back to yourself! |

Oh, I am much to paranoid and beat down with life to ever let much of anything go to my bean, Eric. I am just grateful I can find people who will read my stuff. Thank you for being one of those people. ~ Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. ~ |
