"I could tie a plastic zip tie to my wrist real tight until the veins pop out just like a blood test when the nurse ties your arm with a rubber band. All so that i could pull a blade from its dull rotten scabbard, purposely rusty but very sharp and slice right through the plastic into my pale green flesh. Make it look like an accident, An act of carelessness, A fools play time with plastic and knives." Today was the first time, in a very long time, to re-entertain dark mischievous thoughts. Thoughts on taking what wasn't, isn't, and won't ever be Mine to begin with-- My Life. It is owned by, represented with three circles: Red, Blue, and Yellow. But it, I, was never fully accepted, almost shedding tears in a cell full of strangers, strangers i somehow knew but Strangers all the same. What got me through was a hopeful bubble that at each day's end, I'm reincarnated into a different world, A virtual one, Escaping my past life of which I am residing in.           An assasin running through rooftops,      A lone wolf learning to survive in a fictitious world,      A super soldier shooting bad guys all night long      Or straight up controlling the mind of a completely different being      (Thank the heavens for video games). But this is in no way A solution. It is temporary, not an end to a new beginning.

The Truth, no more Lies
