Castles in the Sky
Just a poem I wrote for school awhile back. Comment on what you think.
Lying inside layers of my mind
Slither ominous shadows that never blind
Where light is contorted, warped, and bends
Binding around something I must defend
Peer deeper beneath, into the surface
and discover all the empty spaces
Where all of my emotions should be
But you robbed me of my humanity
I retreat into a restless slumber at night
Tossing myself into a lunatic’s lament I fight
Back the insanity of rationality
Trying to keep intact my sanctity
Almost comatose I lay on a loveless love seat
Barely fitting so I can forget at the least
That I’m going to sleep myself, alone
Without another warm body to hold as my own
Dig, I dare you, down to the chain of memories
To a time when my fantasies were once a reality
When every evening, I’d ignorantly sleep
Sleep, Perchance to dream.
No more. For you haunt me even in that realm
Your mere existence can easily overwhelm
Torturing me with ecstatic bliss
An excruciating place I miss
I’m conflicted, all I want you to say is “I hate you”
Because I hate hearing the buzzing of “I love you”
I hate how for days I can’t get you out from within
Yet, after mere moments, he can get underneath your skin.
I heard it’s impossible to escape a black hole
Or to gamble with the devil to win back your soul
But I shall try and fight till my knuckles bleed crimson
To escape this cruel, agonizing web that you’ve spun
Lying inside layers of my mind
Slither ominous shadows that never blind
Where light is contorted, warped, and bends
Binding around something I must defend
Peer deeper beneath, into the surface
and discover all the empty spaces
Where all of my emotions should be
But you robbed me of my humanity
I retreat into a restless slumber at night
Tossing myself into a lunatic’s lament I fight
Back the insanity of rationality
Trying to keep intact my sanctity
Almost comatose I lay on a loveless love seat
Barely fitting so I can forget at the least
That I’m going to sleep myself, alone
Without another warm body to hold as my own
Dig, I dare you, down to the chain of memories
To a time when my fantasies were once a reality
When every evening, I’d ignorantly sleep
Sleep, Perchance to dream.
No more. For you haunt me even in that realm
Your mere existence can easily overwhelm
Torturing me with ecstatic bliss
An excruciating place I miss
I’m conflicted, all I want you to say is “I hate you”
Because I hate hearing the buzzing of “I love you”
I hate how for days I can’t get you out from within
Yet, after mere moments, he can get underneath your skin.
I heard it’s impossible to escape a black hole
Or to gamble with the devil to win back your soul
But I shall try and fight till my knuckles bleed crimson
To escape this cruel, agonizing web that you’ve spun

Ear Infection
Gah! I got a fucking ear infection, this is such a bitch! It hurts, but when it's not hurting it's just feeling odd.
It's like I'm listening to the world through a pair of crappy headphones and the sound keeps going in and out in my left ear. It's so weird being deaf. I think as much as it would suck to go deaf, it'd be a lot better than going blind, I'm paranoid enough as it is. I freaked out at first about going deaf, and it especially doesn't help that I was playing Guitar Hero. That really threw me off in the song (YYZ by Rush) and I inevitably failed, but I digress. When I went deaf I almost yelled, it's not a very usual thing to happen.
Well, this is my first blog, not like it's any good, interesting or that anyone is going to read it. Hopefully I get more 'blogworthy' things in the future.
