- Ah yes.. the fuckening.
Do you ever feel that when everything's fine, and life's great, and you can't help but hear the smallest voice, in the far back corner of your mind, say, "Hang on.. This is really nice... REALLY nice.. What's wrong?"
Mary Shelley
- Chapter 2, Frankenstein
It was a strong effort of the spirit of good, but it was ineffectual. Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction.
Parker
- What I Wish You Knew
Even though I seem completely fine, and like nothing is wrong, inside I am dying. I laugh alongside you, even though I want to cry. I speak clearly as if the heavy weight on my chest isn't there. I comfort you even though I wish it was I in your arms, not you in mine. I stay silent and swallow my screams. I love you, so I will silently suffer, and act like everything is fine.
