Me: First and foremost, I am a husband and a father. I have a job - I work in order to pay the bills and take much needed vacations. I love to escape and get a fresh perspective. A little weird some times. A little depressed at times. Very complicated and a glutton for punishment.

Writing Style: Raw emotion that occasionally drifts into the murky waters of dark fantasy. Often biting and unforgiving.

Sample:

HAPPY TO EXIST (AS THE LUCKY ONES MOVE ON)

We all want the fairy tale
We all want the perfect life
But it's just not reality
It was naive for us to believe
That we could ever make the change

We all want the fantasy
We all want something to believe in
But it's just not worth the pain
It was dumb for us to believe
That we ever really had a chance

Wasting our lives away
Building on a foundation of lies
Throwing our love away
There is only disappointment in these eyes
And I will never forgive you
I will never forgive myself

It's too late for us now
The scars are much too deep
Our failed attempts at salvation
Will haunt us long after our bones
Tired and bruised, have turned to dust

*Disclaimer*
(For my wife and anyone else who cares.)

I realize that I have a lot to be happy about. I want to be a happy person, I promise. The negativity is therapeutic; a way to release all the demons. It's better than keeping it all bottled up inside, right?
