My laughter all but exhausted, for the smiles are insincere. I wish I could make people happy once more, but my kind words flow out of one ear. All I see now are shades of blue, no matters what you say or do.


Subject to a gruesome change I wish I was not to blame. Yet I am, so my soul is turning black as coal with ginger hair of the soulless and green eyes of a cat; I'm claimed by the devil I am sure of that.


All my life I've been fighting the inner fiend and no more has it given me but fake friends. No more shall I acquaint my fate as predestined for all are acts of the fiend and mask.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
