The Sad
Gold May 2014
It's an illness, and what a wicked one. It lasts five stages. Through four stages it tortures you the best it can. It tortures you with nostalgia and melancholia. I will tell you about these four stages, until you finally reach the fifth and last stage, the stage that will feel like redemption to you. Brace yourself, this illness can **** before you reach the final stage.

Stage 1, denial / delusion
In this stage, you will deny what happened, and will live in a fantasy your poor mind created for you to keep you alive.
You know exactly what has happened, you know the truth. However, this hideous creature, this torturous illness won't let you "get over" the truth that easily. It will torture you with false hopes, wrecking your mind because each and every night, you will wonder if what has happened was real or just a bad nightmare of yours.

If you made it, be lucky for a second. Stage 2 is awaiting you.

Stage 2, wrath
In this stage, you will feel an ager, a rage you never felt before. You will have the urge to destroy and to burn, not only things, but also you, the memories, and just everything and everyone surrounding you.
The illness wants to destroy you, and it gives you ire so you can "prepare" yourself for what will come for you. Destruction in the finest, most painful ways, you can't even imagine.

You survived Stage 2, now let's take a look on how desperate you can become in Stage 3.

Stage 3, negotiating
In this stage, your desperateness to wipe the slate clean will show. The illness makes you parley with the wildest, most unreal people you may meet in your life, only to undo what has happened.
You would sell your sould to the devil.
You would give your life to the Grim Reaper.
You would… You might even want to make a deal with me.

I think we should stop about what you would, it might get to horrendous for you. So we reach Stage 4, the stage that has the highest verisimilitude to **** you.

Stage 4, depression
You will cry waterfalls of tears, so be careful that you don't drown in the sea of hot, salty water your ever so beautiful eyes created.
This stage of torture is where the illness got quite creative. I'm sure you heard a lot about depression, but in reality it is even worse than the worst you expected. It might feel unreal from time to time, but I tell you, it is real – savagely real.
It might **** you, so try your best to survive this stage. That's the only admonition I can give you.

You survived? Congratulations! Hereby we reach

Stage 5, acceptance
In this stage, the final stage, you finally reach the redemption you craved for so long. You will finally be able to leave behind what has downed you so much. You will be able to fly again, your wings are back.
However, be careful. This stage is the shortest of them all.

Many people before you have failed before reaching this salvific stage.
I hope you won't underestimate the illness. You might have reached redemption, but it only waits to strike again and to devour you.

Be careful, even for I will watch over you.

How did a man get a name STAGE COPELAND
He got it when he was a tot
Stage would pretend to perform in front of his family and friends in performances he had seen
On any occasion, you would see stage acting out drama at home in his own way
Having a name like Stage is fitting for the stage
Well as he grew up into a teenager, the thought acting on stage became a deep down passion
With the name Stage, he was ready to perform
So Stage joined a small Acting Theater group in his town
Stage performed, “MY MISSION”
It was a story about a man who had nothing but ambitions in being a success
Yet it was more of a testimony turning into a confess
After while Stage had become a very good Actor, but was ready to advance
Luckily, there was a Broadway opportunity being chance
Imagine performing on the Great White way
Well that would be a highlight being ok
The Broadway Show was called “YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET”
However, Stage had talent and Broadway would be getting the commodity of get
So STAGE auditioned and caught the Director’s attention
I don’t need to mention
STAGE got the Lead Role
He played the Leading Role of Franklin Stewart, a man who wanted to be in show business
How fitting, Stage would be the perfect witness in playing an actual part that describes him
Well its show time
The orchestra music has begun
The curtain is rising up
Applause from the audience
Performance of a lifetime has transcended
Dramatic line, “Acting has always been in my blood, the inspiration is like water flowing like a flood”
STAGE got thunderous applause
He acted the dramatic acts playing the role that was similar to his own
STAGE and the Cast bow to the audience
Then the curtain comes down
The performance could be described as stardom bound.
