Okay everyone. I'm not sure this belongs here, but feel I had to share it anyway. Forgive the sloppiness, but it had to be done

Life # 2

I think I'm growing..chaning..often thinking about the pure uselessness of understanding. This night is changing around me constantly as I desire to somehow change the world with all this free time on my hands. One moment is an up with the greatest pleasures of higher thought. Those moments are content. Those moments are when I could kiss the whole of the world while dancing and singing some insane but beautiful song from the happiest place inside of me. Then there are the weaker moments..those damn darker moments when my feet are more anxious to move than my mood is. I feel like I'm constantly walking, and depressed because apparently am going nowhere. Times like that I feel the need to cut off my legs so they will cease their torturous activity. Drained and unprosperous I'd take a certain pleasure in going mad. Totally mad beyond the reach of any inspiration or thought. The lazy times come when I can resist the call of worry no more, and hope is gone though it always returns. What can I do to calm my weary nerves? I'm feeling on the verge of something, yet I don't know what. My own mission is to find out what that is without giving up in despair. What then? What happens when I know it? I haven't an idea. I know this..I feel this..I can feel something approaching me from a new world within myself. It comes yet never appears. I'm growing I think, and I can hardly stand the anticipation.

Always on the brink of the plunge.

Well expressed. I can feel what you have written about, and not entirely because I have felt the same things.

I think I know what the brink is and I think I know what happens next but there is no way I'm going to write it down.

Well done Temptress. Keep writing as you walk please.

I write when the darkness enfolds. It at the least passes the time and at best exorcises some demons.
