The Itch You Can't Scratch!

[eraina]

I'm very itchy today and I don't know why. My whole body is cringing, crying out for something but what could it be? Every muscle and nerve burning to move, to change to create and destroy. It scares me when I get like this because bad thoughts start to enter my mind and I find myself doing drastic things I will soon regret. Hmmm. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to slit my wrists or kill someone. I'm just feeling very dark, so dark that I might have to die my hair black or get another tattoo or something pierced. I need to defy gravity and ascend to a higher ground. Pitter patter, pitter patter, when you have an itch you can't scratch, not much else matters. Until next time, much hate from my darker side.

Dark Tide

OCEANS OF FAR AWAY LANDS COME AND WASH MY SINS AWAY
DRINK THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND LIVE TO DIE ANOTHER DAY
THE AIR RUSHES IN AND OUT OF MY TIRED LUNGS
AS I SWIM TOWARD THE LADDER RUNGS
A HAND PULLS ME ABOARD A GHOSTLY SHIP
THE SKELETON'S HAND RESTS GENTLY ON MY HIP
AWAY THE SHIP SAILS INTO A CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE
AND AS THE KNIVES NEAR MY EXPOSED THROAT
MY HANDS BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE
AT THE REALIZATION OF MY DARK FATE
TOO LATE FOR ME TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO SCREAM
I AM AWAKE IF ONLY TO DREAM.
