I am...

I am.. the bruised ego, that refuses to let go, the scar left on your minds thoughts, the manifestation of insanity, that tells you the world is yours alone to control. I am... the Id that talks behind your Ego's back, that tells it to do things that will bring your conscience to pallid pallor, that will make your heart and conscience feel shame.

The Deputy

I was able to keep it to a minimum… Continue

FRUSTRATION That terrible tyranny of anguish, that tingles tendrils in the recesses of hidden veins. FRUSTRATION That tale of unsolved resolutions, that tale in the bloodstream, that causes so much pain. FRUSTRATION That feeling of the ubiquity of the universe, a cold shoulder of fate, that sloughs off the carnal refrain, of those that struggle against the walls of fate, that hollow thud of frustrated frustration, a sonnorance of sorrow, that does not receede in uttering it's name. Take me… Continue
