... and as I read his words, feelings of dispair and absolute disorientation transpired and mirrored onto me with such ressonance... I immediatly lost all senses of purpose. Not that this was something completely unfamiliar to me. There always seemed to be constant highs and lows. However, this time, after reading those cold, meticulous words, reflecting a man's broken soul, I too fell to rock bottom. And it felt impossible to get back...

You got to eat your pigs Eat them right now Grab a glass a milk And chug it all down You got to eat your friends Chew on anything in fact Eat your cousin's kids And your front neighbours cat

All the thing you want to be, of all those things, what will come true? Every place you'd like to see You'll get around much less than you'd expect to.

'I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: That I am nobody but myself. I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, simply because people refuse to see me. It is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.'

I am the island Kept under siege, will my conscience withstand? Am I the island? A lonesome soul treading on sand A tiny drop in a pool of sharks Labouring tasks with no meaning or end I'd do without them They can't complete me I am the ocean I will smother and keep you safe from others Desolation comes for free You'll never do without me I am emotion locked away
