The "mind game" is a lonely game there are no opponents, only pawns... moved and manipulated, extensions of the single player, for awhile anyway. But, pawns mature, get wise and leave the manipulator, alone... to face the fact that without pawns distraction fades, and self-awareness moves right in. Panic! The manipulator must find a new distraction, a new Obsession... to obliterate the total and utter blackness of the one remaining, now isolated within. |

Well put. Something to think about isn't it? Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Panic! The manipulator must find a new distraction, a new Obsession... to obliterate the total and utter blackness of the one remaining, now isolated within. I know what it is like to play this game, it is a hard one, and how says words cannot cause pain. wonderful poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time".
