Bubble wrap, it calms me down when I am really nervous. The popping sound seams so comforting. Like a muffled gun going off in my hands, as many rounds as I want to blow off. Ah, it is so soothing, i feel my eyes rolling back into my head, getting sleepy...so sleepy.Awakened but a shot, that was not bubble wrap. I jump out of... More..

SAVE MY SOUL!Save my soul for later use.Delve into pain and self abuse.Fear lingering in tainted grief,Lost in thought and disbelief.Remain undone in distant dates.Dreaming of a darkening fate.Giddy laughs of one left insane,Stares given to those left in pain.Dribble the words to be written here,Words to shudder in a deafenin...
