Sometimes...it might be best to just be forgotten for a while...let things slide out of sight, out of orbit...away, away, away...

Sent to the Dark

Sometimes I feel so stupid for believing.
It's like...how naive and stupid can I be?
I am seeing myself
reflected and refracted
broken apart
and having my soul deconstructed.

I want to nail this pain into the wall
put it on display
showing my shame and hate
just every ounce of myself
you never could know.

I feel so foolish
so stupid.
I wasn't just a child
but one following
hook, line and sinker.

More than just my head
I have a hole in my heart
pumping out life
and filling this suit of lies,
staining it red
with all my regret.

I keep asking for an end
for this soul
to be stripped
and torn from this decaying machine
but you have plans,
such unknowable
and pain giving plans.


Just another chance
another path
where will this go?
Does it matter?
How much does it matter?

Quote of the Day:

"The writer who emphasizes spiritual values is very likely to take the darkest view of all of what he sees in this country today. For him, the fact that we are the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the world doesn't mean a thing in any positive sense. The sharper the light of faith, the more glaring are apt to be the distortions the writer sees in the life around him... My own feeling is that writers who see by the light of their Christian faith will have, in these times, the sharpest eyes for the grotesque, for the perverse, and for the unacceptable... The novelist with Christian concerns will find in modern life distortions which are repugnant to him, and his problem will be to make these appear as distortions to an audience which is used to seeing them as natural."

-Flannery O'Connor

"How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here."

We write lies in order to tell the truth.
We spin the webs of fictitious tales
to pierce your soul, mind and heart.

"The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it."
