“Damn Tunnel Of Flames”


I am HOT beneath my collar
I am lonely and desperate
Wipe out that bloody phony smile jerk
I have a fever to kill
I am just so very tired
 Lonely and HOT
No!!


I don’t want to take any medication
This time


I am dead serious
I am lonely
I feel like


I am dancing

In those damn fires of hell
I cannot bear


This freaking shit no more
I am mad


I am furious

I am losing my mind
I am desperate
Wipe out that damn smile fool
And don’t tell me


To take bloody medication
My mind is drifting
Drifting… in these flames


I am not crazy
But without any answers


And with sad songs in my head
I am in this tunnel of flames
And I am burning… burning… burning
Burning
And I am just so “flippin” tired
I am somebody


 Un noticed
In a damn tunnel of flames!!
Called Marriage!!
I’m Out!!

Like the dead man said in the President's Analyst, "I'm not paranoid, it's the phone company!" Funny how, when you realize the source of your agony, and get off that train, it all becomes clear.

I am probably crazy, and, I, too, usually have no answers.

Tinka, a little estrogen would go a long way to cooling down that fire. Better to have a level head about how you want things than let them consume you. That way you can reason a way out.

Deep emotions bursting like a volcano

Implore you to take your own advice
Thanks for sharing your emotions so honestly

My testosterone is depleted by all the meds I have to take just to wake up each morning, and without the shots once a month, I'm a way bigger goofball than normal

Dear Tinks . . .

The volatility of this construct is overwhelming. I almost began to cry for your current predicament.

All I can say is, make wise decisions that are good for you, and try to keep your energies focused on the brighter tomorrow that release from this hell will bring.

Stand Strong!
