RetCon1

motionless in my mind
i writhe in the dark
in remembrance of death

destruction and chaos
over past murderous traps

i writhe in my dark

fine and full of clever memory
packed with foolish lies

and sophmoric mistakes

full of hubris and pride
bound to unfortunate reasons
i writhe in this dark
stunted and foolish

remembering friends

moments and outcomes

enemies and obstacles 

justified death from something. . .

trained and amazing

vain and shameless 

from a time past
bound to unfortunate reasons

. . .are all my victories

in memoriam 

          i am no human

  in the dark

is where I belong

writhing 

       and wrong  

this is loss

no matter what

i am lost

A tortured mind is what I get from these lines David and no one deserves to suffer that

Some of us do. Suffering and remembering are two sides to the same coin that buys our way to redemption. The other avenues are usually suicide or willful ignorance and more of the same things. We must never forget... especially when it's awful, especially when it's personal.

Remembering is one thing, but suffering seems like self torture. I don"t walk in your shoes, so I listen to your experiences.

I think we both might be right. You more than me, a 70/30 split would be nice. Some things are kinda hard to get past though.

[Davidgeo]

Shame and regret are powerful emotions when there's a little pride packed in between.
