Comfort finds me in darkened recesses
For empty has been my allocation
And reckoning has befallen me
splintering any illusions of extra,
splitting skin and silencing worth
So solace is mine in my own measure
My own hurtful harmony plays...

“I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty. And cracked.
And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth.” - some unknown GOD
