HISTORY OF MADNESS FINAL

Posted over 2 years ago

They whispered in my ears and I listened. They kept me awake and sometimes it would sound exactly as if dogs were barking by my ear, and my name hissed over and over to me as I began to doubt. Never acquiesced never ever gave in and began to believe in the hardness of breathy hallucination only that I was worth nothing a fever of trickery swimming through think stinking mud holding pain like it…

PART THREE. I should add before i paste MORE of my history rant, that my life is NOT like this any more. on december the 20th it will be the anniversary of 10 years without a drop of alcohol; though the bipolar got WORSE after i was straight. which i thought was just fucking UNFAIR.

THE NEXT BIT. please write back if you can. it is hard to… do. to post this.

I started drinking one afternoon was sure I didn’t go out or see anyone but woke up in a pair of dirty women’s underwear.
I was at a palatial house with a goddess and threw up in her spa. Don’t know her name I don’t think I did even then.
Winters were the worst always lost and drunk and cold always wet and so fu…

IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND MADNESS...

I have a huge swelling feeling growing in the back of my head, reaching forward in grasping fibrillated and soggy claws.

Bones on the outside, like insects, sure.
There is no way out of this, this is stuck-dom, stuck-vil…

the ductile moments full of the scent of sex.

Posted over 2 years ago

Well certainly it affects us all in velvet lines and nails dug into palms and heights drawing us to their creeping, gorgeous edges. That final appointment trembling inside our fragile masques. This is where you are. This is what you have left.
Courage as plagued and futile as fear, dignity an un-credible, absurd end point.
The words as pale and as oxymoronic as a just war or a healthy wound…
