Affirmation

Try forcing, fighting, traumatising yourself to sleep... repeating "I am a good spirit" in an effort to convince yourself that you *are* good... and then we shall talk.

Island

Islands of solitude all, searching for sanity in companionship.

Before the dawn

Quarter to four in the morning

Stillness of the night

Disturbed sleep

A cigarette burns

The guitar strums

Torturous memories

Whiplash against the soul

Smile

“I am not him any more”
