Warring voices -
harsh shrill cries.
Dizzy.
Sick.
Chasm of fear.
Panic, self-hatred,
the dark boom of dread
is all which I'm able to hear.
I crave peace,
sweet pure silence,
tranquil safe rest,
a way out of the cage in my head.

'A way out of the cage in my head'

I like it Bobo, I like it. Just a shame that we have to go through so much before we express ourselves.

True, but at least getting it down on 'paper' makes it more tangible and so hopefully easier to deal with...if I couldn't do that I'd be in a far worse state!

Cheers Fearless,

Thanx Fearless - good to know I'm not the only one contending with the inside of my head! Ever feel like you're totally losing it? Ever feel like madness is only an atom's breadth away? That either you're totally mad or else the whole reat of the world is? Sorry...it's been one of those days...

Funny really. We all look at what we might be losing, but not at what we may be gaining on this wild trip into the unknown.

Sure, my head is screwing with me, but my heart and soul give as good as they get. The odds are good enough for me, and I suspect they are for you too.

Just remember - 'they' are the mad ones. Just remind yourself when you wake up, how much possibility the new day holds.
