  • Obsessed with Perfection

    I am an instruction kind of person, I obsessively read each step by step. And I do find this illness to worsen, After each error and unwanted misstep. Now you see, it all has to be controlled. Yet there are not enough people who care! Men and women ranging from young to old, Flail through

  • Moments of Time: In Front of the Looking Glass

    I see me, I see me. I can not see through me. Dark hair and those dark eyes that Fail to comprehend meanings they witness. An obstacle within myself – the Byronic hero. A reflection that surely must know. How is it my perception became so blurred? Not understanding my own mind is assured! I

  • Death of a Lily

    Death of a Lily

    Is it wrong that I like to watch them die? They limp from dehydration, unable to stand up straight. They are entirely dependent on me. Once I quench their thirst, I know they will spring back, burst into life, and spread their arms out in love and devotion. I am in complete control, until I’m

  • Stars and Butterflies

    Stars and Butterflies

    He walks into the room and I am surrounded by stars and butterflies. His air, his smell, his appearance is even greater than the loveliest of nights. He shines brighter than the moon and his confidence sparkles with the stars. I am his forever if he will shine his light towards me. He is almost
