reel

this place is a mess
a neverending consumption of all that i ever wanted
i think i made it this way
i must have done something

there are times
when i can't see myself anywhere else
there are times
when i think he can

it is not for lack of whys and ifs
i have so many
it's finding the right one
i sift through
there's always a piece that gets misfiled
i must have missed it

i've been here all along
i have nothing but the best intentions
but i can't supress the stomach lurch
everytime i wonder
why

it's been so long since anyone anything
but then again,
it always just made me uncomfortable
anyway

i never wanted anyone to see the bad
doubt feeds the irrational
exposes the core
please turn away

the elaborate masks hide so little lately

The last 5 lines were really what hit me. You built a world of words and the last 5 lines made it mine. Made it home. This was exquisitely expressed. Bravo. -Glass

Hmm. I concur. Not sure what else to say, you nailed it. This was eerily close to what I was already thinking about. Very cool write. ~Ship!

Coffin-shaped Hell... shrinking...suffocating... the human mind, an instrument of salvation...a weapon of internal mass destruction...the mask shrinks to the size of a tear drop...you pray for the world to go blind...

this reminds me of my favorite line of any song...... '......i sentence you to be exposed before your peers.....'.....very nice.
