living my life a lie for whom
washing the walls of this cold dark room
with tears that pour from my aching soul
they know not what i (inside)know
dying inside is a love
try to remember what i was thinking of
gripping the strings of my heart
a hate they forced, by love in part
crying to be me and only me
envisioning a day when they will see
praying to God, whom they say i know not
for HELL is where i shall rot
why can i not crave both
when inside i know the truth
bottled love screams "HELP"
clouding my mind, love is wealth
i shall be the richest one
i shall buy my own hot sun
i will live my life for me
maybe someday they will see
"burn in hell" they so harshly say
"love me still" i beggingly pray
undiseased is the sexual lot
fear, i shall cradle it not
face the day when my sun will shine
time is only tested by time
happiness will find its way
back to lives that go astray

and i will get my wish!




 Trust I seek and I find in you. Everyday for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. --Metallica

 "Bring it on baby what you getting into...
I swear at once it was the little things that mattered--
But it all seems true to you.
Say the hell with my name and say the hell with my picture...
but swear, for the one time you need me around.
And here I'll stand like it matters...
Only once love gets through then gets scattered by the rain...
But pain gives me the right to be unkind"...

A wonderful description of how if feels to live for others. I enjoyed the strength you displayed. May the wish come true.

After reading this three times, I found three different meanings.  The great thing about this art you created is that it has so many meanings to many different people.  The most important being what it means to you, of course.  I wonder for whom I live and why I cannot "crave both."  Inspire me you have, devinmaria.

All the twists and turns, I take it as inspiring too!!  It's some reminisent of Jim Morrison's writings too.  Well done.  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......
