"Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be."

-- Jose Ortega & Gasset

"The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results."

--Carl Jung

Oh what worse doubt, than that of your own thoughts...


So much hate inside myself...


So many questions with no real answers...


Does love overcome me? Or is it the lack of, that sends me searching?...only to find a wasteland of decaying dreams.


Indifferent to negative responses...looking to save face, not be seen as a fool; but then, only fooling myself.


Letting myself believe that this is a price I pay for being the person that I am; always giving my all, yet lacking in something....something that was ripped from me?


Could this be why I am always alone?; always the second choice?; the one left behind, having to find my own way out? and why do I always go back?


Do I enjoy the pain, the self doubt?


Sometimes I feel as though the fire that was once in me, that moved me, inspired me,.... has extinguished; leaving behind ashes and smoke.


Leaving me an empty shell, endlessly searching for actions that shatter my soul and words that bleed my heart dry; and so in suffering I feel.


The emptiness inside me fills with something tangible, real.


..and so I live.


Could this be the reason?


Unraveled Suppression


Release the drug to blind my thoughts

Time once cherished, is now lost

Relinquish the pain that tightens the bounds

Around my soul, cutting the light

Drowning in emptiness, choking the sounds

My mind is screaming in silent agony

Unsettling despair blindingly guiding me

Unto the unknown darkness residing inside me


Set cords around the heart

Cut the senses make me numb

Untold stories, visions past

That made and became

What wavers before

Myself unknown

Standing alone, empty and cold


Losing control of all I should hold

Leaving to chance no glimmer of hope

Sanity is fading, my mind beholds

A rape of the self, nobody will know

The feeling of life has become so remote

Unto the darkened abyss

Behind the walls of my tomb

Covering all that's left of a withering soul


Forgotten breath, beaten struggles

Shift's the hold of unsteady troubles

Blinded sight, silent sound

Muted noise, unknown choice

Blood of despair taking control

Once passionate fires, now prisons of stone

Darken the path, towards what I had thought known.
