Fractured inside my shell,
as I wonder what is about me.
Confused with curious assumptions,
while solace inches me to breathe.
Darkness consuming me,
as it pushes me deeper into my slumber.
A dream, awakening me,
sprouting me out to what lies asunder.

Keep writing! THERE HASNT BEEN ANYTHING NEW!! I stalk your writing because I enjoy it so much, but please, write so I know you're alive. At least add me on email or facebook so you can share some iffy things with me. I die to hear your work :D

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing..

Thank you so much! That's exactly the way I feel. It's nice to know that you actually understand it. I figured no one could comprehend what any of my work meant. So it's really nice to know that there's someone else out there who actually gets the imagery I express. Thanks again!

Hello. I really enjoy your work. Your thoughts and phrases capture me and remind me of my own work. I'd love it if you could read some of my work and comment it/ rate it? I'd love to further discuss our writings. People like you peak my interest and when my interest is peaked, look out. :D I'd highly suggest you read my two works "Tomorrow's Fate" and "Staring Into Me." Keep it up. Seriously. I'd like to see more posted. I'm a fan. :p

His phrase about solace inching him to breathe makes perfect sense. Solace can mean to comfort, but it also means- 2. comfort in sorrow, misfortune, or trouble. Finding comfort in the misfortune of his mind brings him to continue breathe. To me, it makes perfect sense. Maybe you'd have to feel like the author to understand.
