Rant 1


You act like the world owes you something

feel the world took something away from you.

You’re just a child

daydreaming of the problems you’ve never harbored,

Laboring mental torture following silly delusions.

What have you seen so eminently atrocious whose obvious carrier is your only friend,

depression?

Your over-exaggeration does not go unnoticed.

Strong-mindedness is an uncharted territory for a pathetically inadequate mind

it’s darker elements referred to as your ‘dark place’.

Funny how you’re so shy, but when it comes to your disease

Then flamboyant.

Sympathy simply dwindles away leaving room enough to ensure

pity.

Faeries, magick, enchantment, Tir Na Nog, Mother Earth, poetry, the stars, and wonder are all I need in life. Hey, I'm Salem. I'm just an average nobody trapped in forever cycles of hurt and repent. My mind mixes thought and reality ever so painfully which, in turn, creates the chaotic painting that is my life. Who said chaos couldn't be beautiful?
