"When i was supposed to be awake, i was asleep;
when i was supposed to speak, i was silent;
when a pleasure offered itself to me, i avoided it.
My hunger, my thirst, my loneliness and boredom and fear
were all weapons aimed at my enemy, the world.
They didn't matter a whit to the world, of course,
and they tormented me, but i got a gruesome satisfaction
from my sufferings
They proved my existance."

"Built to be lonely
to love the absent
Find me
Free me
from this
corrosive doubt
futile despair
horror in repose
I can fill my space
fill my time
but nothing can fill this void in my heart
The vital need for which I would die"
- Sarah Kane - 4.48 Psychosis
