Brutal Honesty

I've tried writing everything. Anything that would catch attention. Nothing did... it would begin with some beautiful piece of writing, all these glowing metaphors that meant nothing to me or the people reading it. So how can people love something that means nothing? They can't, so that's why I'm writing this. It might not mean anything to you, but at least it means something to me. At least something comes of it. Maybe it's a stupid something, but to be brutally honest, I couldn't care less.

Selbstportrait mit Kater

another night in

the tv is on

...and then you hear the familar voice but you can't place the face. watching from the kitchen through the door crack time after time you can never stop just for a minute and when things get good you shy away, too much excitement for one day could start the whole week off bad.

i'd like to know that too

[...]five o seven? take your mind out of the way, it's casuing too much static - don't think just be, that's the old maxim isn't it? [...] intermingled with adverts for expensive cars and cheap perfume, there's something odd in that. emotion that burns bright and then disapears withuot a second glance[...]

KATE, IT'S NOT TOO LATE

QUESTIONNAIRE FROM THE TEACHER

I got this idea from noticing a couple of typos in other people's work-related documents (which sounds boring, but it's meant to be humorous!).

Behind these brown eyes.

"The heat of the lights is causing precipitation to bubble to my skins surface. The force of the beet throbs along the floor from the speakers. It vibrates up my legs causing them to tremble aside from my nerves. As I open my eyes I start to embrace the sound and as I take in the crowd before me, I catch my link and burst into my track¦.

COVER MY FACE

Part humour, part pain.

Unbound Riddle

from the rest of the head.
