The soul churning moan that escaped his lips.
The sickening crunch of the impact of his head against concrete.
The twitching of his spasaming body.
The contorted way his eyes roll around in their sockets.
This bewitched body is all I have left of my bestfriend.
For the first time in my life I feel truely
a l o n e .
That feeling of being in control.
Being in control of my action and my life.
Being the one who makes the decision to cut just that bit deeper than last time.
Reopening old wounds.
Slicing through the vein.
Tapping into the glistening stream.
That feeling of bliss that comes with seeing your own blood run cherry ribbons down your arm.
The control is why I keep comming back to the blade.
"Stop, you're addicted," they all say.
No. It's much more than an addiction, I reply.
And why stop when it's the only thing that saves me?
I try for the first time, in the sanctuary of my room.
I glide the blade gracefully, leaving a trail of deep crimson.
The vein leaking its precious supply.
I marvel at the simplicity of the act.
The deep connection it leaves.
The next morning, the bliss fades.
And the full impact of my actions the night before takes effect.
This huge burden has been heaved onto my shoulders.
Leaving me feeling empty, but still bearing the weight of it.
I urge to run back up into my sanctuary and care away again.
A way of showing that I still have some control of myself.
That I'm the one who decided to inflict the physical pain that temporarily
Life sucks. It really does.
Behind every perfect girl is a fucked up turd. And I'm not perfect.
Walking along, laughing with friends, with a plastered smile on my face, it hits me like a brick wall.
Knocking me off my feet. Winding me.
Instead of scrambling for my breath like I normally would, I scramble for my numbness and breathlessness to smother me.
For Death to welcome me to him with open arms.
Hoping maybe there, I can ease this burden and redeem myself for the pain I have inflicted on others.
And then I come back to reality.
None of my so called 'friends' notice my break down.
Sometimes I wish I was either normal or complete

Sometimes I wish I was either normal or complete
Music is like a drug to me.
It's all I want,
All I need.
I crave it, all the time.
I need it,
I have to have my next hit,
To feel the soft caress
Of gentle notes as the music fills my body,
My mind, my soul.
It sets me free,
And without it I am but an empty shell.
If music is my drug
Then performance is my pipe of choice.
To hear the crowd chant my name,
To cheer me, to see me as I truly am and
Accept me,
There is no greater rush to be found,
On this Earth or beyond.
I'm hooked,
And I'm never going to stop.
I have found my true self,
My true heart, my true passion.
I've been with it for seven years,
I want it to be lasting forever.
It's who I am, it's what I am,
It's what I want, it's what I'll be...
A Musician.

The Passion of Musicians
The blister that drew blood,
the frustration that brought on tears,
the critics that handed you the breakdowns,
the extensive hours of practicing that introduced the obsession.
To feel your muscles flex and bend as you skate the bow across the strings; support the instrument at the neck.
To sense the strength in your fingers as they snap the strings down onto the fingerboard, then tenderly waver for the vibrato.
to hear the notes amplify in your left ear as your eyes read the universal language printed neatly on paper as pale as a white rose.
Use your own heart's pulsing to find a beat.
Imagine that you are playing your favorite piece
