Reverbrations begin in the air. Music on my eardrums. Rhythmic medicine to numb the symptoms.
Reverbrations come from the past, as the medicine brings with it bitter and familiar tastes.
Reverbrations in my head, woven into a silk net to keep my mind in order.
Reverbrations in my gut, ***********************
Reverbrations in my hands, fear as thoughts explode into black.
Reverbrations all around, and the medicine is sweet.

The Dragon of Id
I see you, moving through the shadows.
I hear you, stepping softly on the grass.
Your head is lowered, but not in shame.

but think me not your ally
Your payments are the rose petals you sneak away with every night
And a dragon has no love for those who take what is his.
step lightly gardener, as you have till now
and the dragon will be content, to watch from atop.

Now... even if the emotional pain is subsiding (slowly, barely, but still)... I'm just lost.
I don't have my cornerstone. I lost the one thing that I was defining the rest of my life, all of my

Isn't It Obvious? pt.1
You know, I was always the kind of girl who went with the flow. As far back as I can remember I've never had anything I was really looking forward to. I lived life day by day and if it was good I was happy, but I never had anything I wanted.
I know, sounds like the ultimate first world problem. But it's not like there wasn't anything I could want, just nothing I did want. I was never excited about maybe going to Disney land when I was a kid because I really really wanted to. I can't remember ever looking forward to my birthday or Christmas. I was happy when the days came but didn't miss them or particularly look forward to them again when th
