No more will I whisper my pain into storms in the hope that the thunder will hide the sound of breaking. No more will I wonder at the beauty of death and its promise of release, the monotonous metronome of blood dripping onto tile nor how it would feel to slowly swing, my life ebbing away as my eyes wonder at the stars they create. No more will I swallow the oblivion prescribed, I will not allow the erosion of my soul any longer, I refuse to become any less than this. No more will I question my existence within a monochrome world while all around others glory in rainbow hues.
I alone am the captain of my destiny.
There is beauty here should I choose to see it and I have turned my face away long enough.
