She wrote it on her myspace.
As her name and as her thoughts.
As her color and as her title.
I thought it was absurd to be in a thread that was spindled that way.
But the closer i looked,
And the deeper i dug,
I realized something.
I realized that we lie in the very same thread.
Maybe we have been woven in to two seperate fabrics.
But no matter what, theres always that sickening reminder.
A reminder that nothing is ever perfect.
A reminder that sadness isnt such a far-fetched veil.
Curiosity has the power to seduce.
Nervousness has the agenda that never fails.
There is no question about it.
But when is far ever going to be too far?
When is enough ever going to hit over the line?

Every thought.
Every dream.

Its time to realize the possibility.
Time to realize destruction is as close as the wrong door chosen.
Its time to stop relying on someone else to fix it.

Where i will live and thrive.
Until i am healthy enough to fight for what I need.
Discover what I want.
Throw out what is unneccesary.
And open my eyes as my thoughts become things.

people are crushed
innocents hurt
for the selfish
by Anzar
Tremendous guilt and hopeless strive
Indifferent to musings, indifferent to plight
No sense of drift, no feeling of sin
"This is love's savage reclamation"
So full of pain
but I'm to blame
for my misery.
The decisions I've made,
cast a spear
by Hanna Joseff
My pain cannot be explained in words
It cannot be summarized without being mistaken
There are a lot of variations to my
