After the fall through pain and strife,

Live as though life will end some day.
Make yours beautiful and brilliant and full of love.

thousands of questions, doubts and blind trust fill my head
hundreds of pains, craving and loathing cradle my heart
dozens of emotions, sadness and hope drag upon my soul

The advance of the human race is solely dependent upon the thoughts of the insane, the addicts, the unusual, the weirdos, the "special."
The only reason for any change is the absence of something longed for or needed.
The longing is only done by those lacking.
The only lacking are those "unique," "different," "special," "strange," etc... Those apart from the "normal," the whole.
FACT: Many human beings are deficient in serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, endorphins, and/or the ability to generate or produce these chemicals/compounds.
The great minds of past, so spoken of, were those that - in their time - were forsaken. They died as not
I listened to everything except what matters.
I listened to fear.
I listened to doubt.
I listened to insecurities.
I listened to them.
But I didn't listen to you.
And I didn't listen to myself.
Things like this are how I know.
I know I'm not good.
Not good for you.
Not good for anyone.
Just wish I had listened.
When it mattered.
Nothing to do now.
Nothing but change.
I just want you to know.
I'll be working on myself.
Working until I know.
Until I know I'm good enough.
Good enough for you.
Don't worry now.
Live the best life you can.
Just take care of yourself.
And know that I'm working.
The sound of your voice buckles my knees.
My eyes won't move, they won't blink,
they just burn and cry.
The touch of emptiness wrenches my stomach.
My hands won't work, they won't pick up,
they just shake and pray.
The sight of him in your bed mutilates my heart.
My mind won't think, it won't accept,
it just screams and thrashes.
The taste of vomit rests in my throat.
My legs won't work, they won't walk,
they just stumble and collapse.
The smell of dried blood fills my lungs.
now I rust in my flask
a slow chalky flow
now I take the task
of getting to know
all it is that I wish
all it is that I miss
now I sit on my ass
a slow motion blow
now I stare at the past
and I don't want to go
but now it's all gone
the ground I stood on
adoration
contemplation
liquidation
evaporation
- a love story
better to have loved and lost...
no better than pulling that trigger
roll over and burn
the slow rusting turn
my soul on the floor
or whats left of it anyway
because I found out today
that it wasn't a grudge
she told me the truth
when she spoke about you
I quickly dismissed it
thought she still wanted me
but instead she was nervously
spitting conversation
and she spoke about you
but she told the truth
this time
and I found out today
in the worst possible way
from you
Used to think the path got shorter
when you walk the line of right and wrong
Used to think the tune got lighter
when you know the words but hum the song
Now I know the road gets longer
steps are all that is cut short
Now I know the piece is sadder
when singing is your last resort
I teeter on the edge of lies
to keep you from the verge
I wring my soul until it dies
to keep yours preserved
Been fighting you for so long
just to keep you free
Then a thought, stumbled upon
I've been fighting me
Watch as your world shatters in to a thousand pieces and is thrown to the wind.
Watch as the clean cut shards fall upon the open sea.
- falling like feathers
- landing like bricks
Watch as they drift and bob and float away.
- some already beginning to sink
- others still floating, just so you can watch

Past Eidolon of Future
It starts in a candlelit room
With thousands of rose petals strewn
You walk through the door
And you glide 'cross the floor
And are gowned by the light of the moon
- "Off to bed?"
"Not yet" I said
As I gestured toward the table
- "How long a wait?"
"We'll wait for fate...
Or as long as we are able"
A dinner filled with laughs and smiles
You grew all the more impatient
- "This is taking quite a while..."
I interrupt / "Shall we to the basement?"
Down the stairs and through the halls
Where fireflies light the walls
As you walk through the door something catches your ear
And you tilt your head up to the tingling chandelier

should have... would have
Building up... steadily... painfully
Can't sleep... the dream comes back
Always haunting my thoughts
Always taunting my trust
My pride is broken
My mind is weak
Can't keep fighting it
It always comes back
Forget for a moment
But it always comes back
Wish I had known before I went
Brought something back with me
That I didn't want to take
Soaked into my thoughts and dreams
Don't want to sleep
Can't stay awake
There is a spacial sense drifting through paralells....
waves of consciousness stream through devided minds.
I am translucent and transending through their presence
with my reality becoming more misplaced among the detached.
In my mind i will wait for an answer to arise,
a moment of clarity not clouded by disgraced frailty.
I will await a sign of strength that will come
from the one who is broken in their
weakest moment.
His wounds will show not darkness and anguish
but the forgiveness and release that has been lost to us
over a period of time unfathomable.

The ones that make you real
How do you sort things out
When you've got no place to start
All your life, you've depended
On short term releases
But now, they're just not enough
To satisfy your cravings,
What do you do, when you've no other option
I've been to the dark places,
I've been that person you hate
But time can change so many things
That you just don't realise
I'm not the girl I use to be,
I'm a lot more grown up, through a lot more pain
But
When push comes to shove
Who will you lean on, who'll be there
When you've nothing left to hold onto
No shoulders left to cry upon,
You learn to stand upon your feet,
And walk the roads you see
I've been
Please turn your head to me
And see the tears on my face
So I can own up to you
And say the truth, how Ive been
You say that you know
Because Im always okay
But Ive been lying to you
Since that day long ago
When you ask how I am
I say okay and I smile
And you think that its true
You dont think Id lie to you
Why should I tell you now
When I know what youve done
Why should I tell you the truth
Not been okay for a while
You never saw my red eyes
Because I hid them too well
And when I felt an attack
Id walk away and Id hide
And now were over and done
So the truth I w
Vitality trickles out of me
like water
from a slow stream
it drains from my heart, through my eyes.
Clear, liquid pearls
drop to the earth, but
no life grows from this spring.
My soul cries out for you.
Irises glazed in dew
shudder in the dim light
they are the colors of bark and leaf
and reddened by the river
of despair.

I've decided to come back to dA after a long break. It has become apparent to me that the release writing provides may be a necessity for me yet again... I went to a very bad place after I left, and it is imperative that I find alternative means of survival. So hello again.
Looks like shit didn't work out... shoulda thought... shoulda planned... ah hell who am I kidding... screw plans, it's more fun without'm....
Anyways I'm heading back to NoVa... should be settled back in by the 27th
