This person is incredibly talented, but has demons that block the way for the successes they seek; some of these demons come from with in, some of them are imposed, some come from a bottle, and some are matters of circumstance.

We have been friends for a long time, but I am not normally one who talks about my feelings, at least not out loud, and my greatest regret so far when talking with this friend was that when they -really- needed a close friend, and shared something about themselves they had never really shared, I have always felt like I wasn't as supportive as I could have been. I tried to be, but my shock and partial disbelief at the time blinded me to my ability to sympathize and reach out and help or comfort. This has bothered me for over a year now.

And then I read something that they wrote, and it reminded me of how badly I had failed, and that friends are better than what I was; I was not bad, but I was not as good as I could have been.

And if you are reading this, and you know it is you I am writing about, I am sorry.

Because these admirers make you feel special.

A flash of lightning and memory strikes,
I recall grave fear of storms, but then-

I remember the big room,
The endless sprawl of carpet and the warmth,
Now annexed and divided by sacrifices made,
Centipede bites, the rise and fall the raised diamond garden,
And how the sunflowers would snap and tumble on a breezy day,
I remember the woods, the porch, and the laying of the stone,
The feline wanderers and the living room before the music invaded,
The time I spent moonwalking, how you read to me,
When your bed was still under the painting.

I am my own home, and within my skin

Through closed blinds
And my body becomes restless,
Itching to move around the house.
Yet here I lie,
Forcing myself back to sleep,
Back into dreams,
Because that’s where I want to be

A bit long winded. If it could be called art, it would be very personal. ]]>
One cloudy, bloodshot eye peers up through the cracks of his invincible shell, his torn eye seeking the blue, rich, open sky from his stable anchored place. Rays of golden sunlight leak through the jagged fractures of his dented helm and flash on his scarred forehead. Through the hairline cracks the beauty of the world seeps in to tease his weary senses.

The path he had chosen to travel so long ago was a cold and lonely one.

I sculpted hands
child-sized tiny hands
like mine, but big enough
to hold you
and mold you into an even
tinier egg that I could drop
and watch the pieces scatter

I took photos
of the sun haloing behind you
making you glow
as you told some story
like a preacher and everyone
ate out of your hands,
but me, I ate noodles

I painted flowers
pretty purple ones

was the colorblindness

I love her music, especially when I'm angry, but it's helped me when I needed it

Art saves
make the pain
a weapon you can use ]]> As raw as dripping flesh
Exposes old cuts infecting
and opens scars, redefining

Betrayers bring hope before they fail
Abusers cover bliss dreams in shit
Hypocrites sabotage in sweet blood
reign in illusions of self-victory
All hits leave me running and hiding.

She is as potent as their anger.

Draws my spirit out,
amplifies sadness into directed rage
hitting a graceful page.
I dance in dead memories
silently weaving pain
