                <description><![CDATA[ My day went fairly well,<br /><br />Things fall into place so easily for me, I don't understand.  Me, of all people.  I don't even try, I don't even care.  <br /><br />Why does matter exist at all?  Or this playground of empty nothing?  For fucks sake, it doesn't make sense.  I want a small life, happy, even if ignorance is required.  I succeed at anything I don't care about, and anything I care about fails.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've watched you my whole life, a gaze of curiosity with silent acceptance.  Your cruel words and twisted ways keep me open to the truths of life.  There's so much desire brewing inside of me, I want to tell you things but the time is never right, the world won't let me yet.  I felt you inside of me today, digging through my skull, burrowing deep into my cerebellum.  It made me pause, stretch my head to the stars, and take a deep breath.  I hold my tongue for the sake of your virtues, as few as they might be.  One day i'll be left with fumes of hope--this is not a renewable resource.  <br /><br />I am worried that the right time will be the wrong place, I am worried there will be no one left for me to beg for forgiveness.  I am afraid that both of me will one day agree on a solution, and i'll follow through.<br /><br />A bad place.<br /><br />It'll pass, all I need is a bit more sedation.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't understand why it affects me, constantly plagued from the inside.  What I find most confusing is that it's my greatest desire, my dream, everything.  It is what I seek most in life, and it is what hurts me more then anything.  These paths, these choices--they are supposed to be hard, right?  <br /><br />And then I have these moments, like now.  Moments in which I question my choices; myself.  Does this help me?  Do I have the focus, the patience, the strength to be what others fail to be?  I've broke some rules recently, but I learned from my weakness.<br /><br />Even now, there is so much to overcome, so much to fight.  I feel the desire to quit whispering in my ear, reminding me that there's nothing in it for me.  That there is no goal or finish for what I have chosen, just a journey.<br /><br />They ask, why do you do this?  The answer is simple.  Because no one else will.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I am trying different things--I try everything.  Tonight could have been bad, very bad.  Things were close but I can't imagine myself somewhere different, someone different.  <br /><br />I get to sleep now--finally after three days.  I've been dreaming of dreaming, laying down and passing through into the infinite infinite.  Time alone with my own consciousness; allowed to piece things together.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ When I get home I sit down on my couch and rest--hours pass like seconds while I stare ahead.  It's not about what I look at, but what looks at me.  <br /><br />Through the window sits a pair of eyes, steady with intent.  A light flickers inside them and whispers fill my head.  No, not voices in my head, real sound--real to me.  It feels like such a normal thing, and I don't know why; I was still a child last time I heard from them.  It's been so long, and I've been so lonely without you.  I don't know why you left, and I don't know why you're back.<br /><br />My eyes tear up and I cry in silence while remaining still.  How can something so real be not, how do I torture myself without cease?  <br /><br />You learn not to talk about things, even when they say it's <i>safe</i> to talk about things.  Safety is an illusion, <b>security and trust are the real delusions</b>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />You're gone again, but solitude is <b>my</b> trait.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />;<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I lay down and rest, the end of<br /><br /> ]]></description>

The difference that this insignificant creature can impose on the lives of the vast majority of others.  <br /><br />I am a hypocrite in the purest form.  I want nothing but peace and silence, but my life has neither.  I blame this on others, but the truth is too obvious for me to ignore.  I could have walked away at any time, but for selfish reasons I did not. <br /><br />This song was playing.  Everything was done, I needed to leave, but I couldn't walk away from the window while listening to it play.  Pouring rain, thunder, dark gray skies and an even worse atmosphere inside.  I ask myself.<br /><br />who am I?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I open both eyes to the sight of my breath.  I extend my right arm in front of me and look at the palm of my hand.  Shutting my eyes and lowering my head, I squeeze my fist and take a deep breath, making note of the sense, this feeling of life.  My hand moves to the left and against my chest, it still beats.<br /><br />Thousands of people pass me in a matter of minutes, but I stand frozen.  I glare out towards the tree, watching its leaves dodge the wind.<br /><br />I want to fight so hard to keep it alive, to give it more time.  I'd do anything, <i>anything</i>.  But I can't do anything, there is no tree.  It died long ago, and now all I have is the memory of the tree.  You can plant another seed, but that same tree will never grow again.  You can gather all the dried up leaves, bark, and shriveled roots, but you'll never have that tree again.<br /><br />I have a garden in my dreams, I have a forest.<br /><br />Only when you let go of everything can you have anything.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I watch the sun set through a slit in my blinds; day dreaming as the warmth slowly dissipates from the room.  Darkness falls, but I am steady--watching the crowds below me.  I see her car get into the turn lane, I shut my eyes.  I study the lights and flashes observed with them closed, I take a moment to enjoy the silence, the absolute peace of silence--silence within deafening noise.  <br /><br />I feel the vibrations of her fist hitting my door.  The sound of my name slithers towards me, my skin gets cold and the hairs stand on end.  I grow accustom to the sound of knocking wood, and drift back into the unconscious.  The sun rises.<br /><br />Before the heavens cease to glow, I won't exist.<br /><br /><br /><br />the daily massacre<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ these journal entries read so plain, and look so fake.  It's behind the scenes that real thought is put down.  I'll laugh tonight in my sleep, thinking about how much time I put into typing words on a journal that no one reads, and anyone who does read it, doesn't know me, and doesn't want to know me.<br /><br />I try to write something every day.  you can see how well that works.  I get to the journal entry page, type for an hour.  I edit my work, I search my thoughts for the elusive promise of release.  nothing.  I reread, select all, delete.  Then I lay down to sleep.  <br /><br />Acknowledging this doesn't make it easier to disclose what I want.  It makes me realize that there is no vocabulary in existence capable of truly expressing the images in my mind.<br /><br />I type, I type<br />put me there with you<br />in the presence of vocalization<br />expecting the outburst of emotion<br />but I am still<br />a statue with a locked gaze<br /><br />anxiety?  trust?  fear? <br /><br />I am envious.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ my father died just a bit over an hour ago.<br />I got a call from my mother this afternoon, calls which I generally don't answer or listen carefully to.  I felt a sense of urgency in her voice i've never heard before,<br /><br />"he might be leaving us today, very soon"<br /><br />I almost forgot my keys as I left my condo.  I forgot my wallet, belt, socks ... in fact I should be proud I looked remotely dressed when arriving.  The distance between these two locations is rarely closed so quickly.<br /><br />As soon as my key hit the door I was met by my mother.  All my life I've never experienced her sadness at such great amounts.  I stood there doing the one thing I could, hugging her.  She rushed me quickly around the corner to the room where he lay, she had just finished reading him a letter from my sister.<br /><br />My father waited for me.  His eyes were on me as I walked in, and for the last moments of his life.  I couldn't, and still cannot imagine how he held on while I was speeding along on the freeway making my way here.  We talked a very long time just a day earlier, and last night he called me before I went to sleep and told me he loved me.<br /><br />I am still boggling over his last moments of life.  This man who raised me, who I admire, and who I can only dream to accomplish and achieve the amount of respect and commitment he had, and people had for him.<br /><br />My father waited for me.<br /><br />Goodluck, father.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I can count on one hand the number of people in my life who I've been honest with; two of them are dead, the other two I'll probably never meet.  I am by no means in a crisis, but mentally I am not well.  I reject all attempts at friendship, even extraordinary as some might be.  Words have yet to be created to describe how foolish I act.  God forbid I trust anyone.<br /><br />Emo, I just mean emotion.  I don't want to cut my wrists or wear eyeliner, just feeling something would be nice.  I've punched the wall until blood ran down my arm.  Headache.  That's my emotion.  I either have one, or I don't.<br /><br />In hindsight, I am about to type the most honest statement I have ever placed here:  I need a friend.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ One day I am going to die, I think about it on occasion.  Not dying, but that day.  For a moment it scares me.  The thought of dying?  Never.  Realizing that no one knows, and no one is ever going to know, because it's all going with me to my grave.<br />
<br />
It's what makes my spine shake, because I don't think about it often.  However, it likes to remind me when I get too focused on something else.<br />
<br />
" -- ?  -- what is it?"<br />
"what?"<br />
"what's going on -- ?"<br />
"[uh] nothing.  Nothing is going on, every thing's fine."<br />
<br />
<sub>Everything's fine.</sub><br />
<br />
"<i>close your eyes and we will live in fear ...</i>"<br />
<br />
I fear my biggest regret will be that I stuck to the rules, and just followed orders.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
