& I Cried for Hours
Whispering for Rage
& I Danced for Hours
Yearning for Pain

& I was left Speechless
Needing that Fury
& I was left Humbled
Longing for Anguish

& I could not Fathom
The Refreshing Air
& I could not Sense
That Rage, that Fury

& so I Cried for Hours
Whispering for Rage
& so I Danced for Hours
Yearning for Pain

One day Men will look back & say
that I gave birth to the 20th Century

smiling...sounds like one of my sleepless night...and? the "longing for pain" line? nodding here. Sometimes even the sensation of pain is better than "nothingness." (smiling again--let the examination begin, Dr. Freud?)

truly, tho, I understood this...profoundly.
