twenty four, fourty eight, seventy two the hours float on by as I stare lost in reality ninety six, one twenty, one fourty four cut off from the way things used to be it's just a systematic decay a complete reversal of the day trapped in a spiral of misery and frustration hours turn to days of desecration and I'm floating downward to the icy core wanting the warmth I felt before breaking inside as I dance the ledge flirting with breakdowns that dwell on the edge how many days has this been alive when will it end and will I survive too many questions as my mind goes to pieces emotional stability and comprehension ceases reality drifts away as though in a dream and I'm here wondering am I who I really seem numb all over and hanging by strings I'm waiting for what the puppeteer brings who am I what is this do I really exsist or is this a dream I can't resist nuclear meltdown straight to the core I don't remember being this dead before floating away in a sea of disillusion falling apart from a little confusion fading away a piece at a time trapped in the cage of rhythm and rhyme disconnected from reality and the pain it brings can't remember my hopes and all those things I'm drifting away in a tube of my design no longer defined by a straight line and I'm spinning around with the voices in my head telling me to go back to bed if only I knew where that was... People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. --Soren Kierkegaard |

This sounds so lost and confused. Writing is such a great catharsis, I hope it is helping to put all in perspective. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully a better one. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
