sleepless nights

weak eyes

aching body

sleepless nights filled with insomniac theater and infomercials



and I wonder if this demon will ever leave me



I was convinced that it was a result of rapid change

I was convinced that I would adjust

but my psychology book suggests otherwise



and of course I didn't tell you about the paranoia



I search for a beginning or an end

anything but this feeling



and I wonder how something that is empty can actually ache

It is late. Who knows what I will think of this in the morning.

I can fully relate, though mine wasn't from rapid change. ;) I haven't read my psychology book well enough to find anything that meaning full towards myself but I have my mind to do that. Once again, well done. :)

beautiful...those three lines devastated me. no doubt that they mean something entirely different through my eyes, though.
you made a comment about your psychology class, and i wonder how much of this self-analytical and how much stems solely from your studies at that time. this is no criticism by any means. i've no room to criticize. what i'm saying is this: you have so much potential, and such fluidity with your words; you could be great. don't simply scratch the surface, though. reach inside and pull everything out. put in all on the table. i'm looking forward to reading more.

ciao, erryn

My psychology book suggests that I should read more of your stuff to give me an idea of what is actually happening in this world these days! Best regards from Russia
