    eh, this is some of my older work. it's not as visually stimulating as my current stuff but i still like this one.

    my life is written on this glass,
    surround me,
    everything i've ever seen, felt, thought
    everything i thought i forgot,
    the more i try to fix,
    the more the imperfections shine
    my flaws stretch the line
    where things are hard to define,
    can push and press
    but it's no better and no less,
    my demons press me to the glass,
    whispering in my ear,
    "i know your fear
    i know what you've been hiding all these years,"
    my skin starts to sear
    my every sin blatantly clear,
    the only thing shattering here
    is me,
    cease what i've come to be
    i never meant to be this way,
    this miserably stunning display,
    of clear woe and sin
    go on and tell me i cannot win,
    feel the arrow pierce my skin,
    take from me what you wish,
    i am in no position to fight,
    shine that light,
    expose my weakness,
    this i confess,
    the light shines through me,
    there is nothing of worth inside
    what's the point in trying to hide?
    i am too afraid,
    farther from myself i've strayed,
    into the dark i know so well,
    away from the life
    that calls to me,
    i am praying only to be set free,
    my condition continues to worsen,
    forgetting it was me i put my trust in,
    i pushed myself so far from you
    when all you were trying to do
    was put me together again,
    i've taken myself apart,
    shattering sections of my heart,
    i've tried to search my soul
    but only found myself less whole
    and less in control,
    i am so numb,
    i cannot feel myself,
    am i fading so fast?
    no suprise,
    i knew i would never last,
    i try to seperate myself
    and see what you see
    but i only see the quit in me.

    I can relate. It's good. Painful. But good.
