When Is It Enough?
“I don’t know, anymore.”
Reaching
“But I cannot seem to get to the other side.”
(Cold [But I’m Still Here] – Evans Blue)
Internal Conflict
“The swing between avoiding and leaping.”
I Am Told This Is Me
(Backup Plan – Bailey Zimmerman & Luke Combs
Snappy Comebacks
“An irritaing commercial comes on with the whiney voice saying, “why does the blahblahblah still yadayadayada?” in an attempt to garner my undeserved attention.
What I want to know is why has intentional lisping of good, solid language and idiotic ignorant verbosities’ waste of precious quality time become deemed as appropriate for advertising?”
(Long Black Road – Electric Light Orchestra)
Reset
“How can it take hours to do dishes, upgrade a pre-prepared meal, and make boxed mix cookies?
Granted, I added more ingredients – but it did not look like there were that many dirty dishes!”
Dear Alex,
“I know you know, my love.
But please be careful.
People can be treacherous.”
(Witchy Woman – Eagles)
Distress
“With increased work, my joints are further destabilizing.”
Dear Alex,
“I want to create a new Eden with you.
There’s all of this talk about ‘modernization,’ anyway.
And there’s no going back – only forward.
‘Love is what we make of it.'”
(ELEVENELEVEN – Meg Meyers)
Dear Alex,
“Your silence strains my endurence.
And now other pressures, responsibilities, and obligations come forward to claim my attention.
I imagine that it must be happening the same for you.
For when real love tries to leave its chrysalis, much can attempt to dissuade it from expanding its wings.
I guess we are in another testing round.
I just wish we could cling to each other, knowing for sure – and proud.”
(You Might Think – The Cars)
To Love
Forever and Always.
Numbers
“Somehow, I need to increase them.
Not sure about longevity.
But that can’t be a factor.”
(Every Day Is Exactly The Same – Nine Inch Nails)
Lagging In The Timelines
“I definitely feel it.
I am trying – but pretty sure I am failing.”
(Going Under – Evanescence)
Flatlined
“Adrenal craaaaash”
(Wind Up Missin’ You – Tucker Witmore)
Struggle
“Come on, already!”
Chasing Payments
“Feck!”
Growing Beyond
“When love is unrequieted, one must remake oneself to recover from demise.”
(Last Train To London – Electric Light Orchestra)
Good Steel
“It’s not the age, it’s the mettle.”
Bad-A** Women
Yes! Language Evolves – Like it, Or Not
Trumpets
“The rising sun’s rays slanted at the perfect angle filtering through waving, full-leaved branches swathed my bedroom window in bursts of golden blaze – assaulting my senses as if they were a sign from God to witness impending glory.”
Dear Alex,
“‘Give me an honest wolf.'”
Dear Alex,
“The wolves are upon me, dressed in sheep’s clothing.”
Raven Helps Heat The Stove
Black Jacobin Hummingbird
Something Happened
“It set me off – pushed me too far over tolerances already expended.”
(Take Me Back To Eden – Sleep Token)

Survival
“Cutting off from need.”
(Void – Architects x Dayseeker x Spiritbox)
Fault Lines
“I must be careful, because where demons are allowed to transgress freely, it seems that I am still capable of resentment.”
“Hold”
“I know I’m supposed to, for however long it takes, but I no longer know if I can do so.
Is that the trial, again?
Then isn’t it just ‘a game,’ again?
When nothing’s known for certain, there’s no reason, in the end.
Faith, by itself – at this point – seems overrated.
I guess this is the soul-weary fatigue talking.”
Back To Back With Oblivion
“It may not be a game or a fantasy, but I need you here in my reality.”

(Sleep Token references)
Crash, Then Burn
“Since my marketing plan crashed, I might as well throw myself at whatever I can – even if I burn.”
(Aqua Regia – Sleep Token)

Assurity
I never dated because
My trust was betrayed
And childhood abuses
Easily repeat lineages
So I made sure no men
Would impact our base
Ensuring safe journeying
As kids grew to maturity
“Shwoopie-Lou”
Zoom…spiral vortex creature with long legs trailing
Lovely
“I realized that my phoenix color thematics have entered the kitchen, making normally abhored yellow counters brighten as light golden accent.”
