NEW BEDLAM

Who among us can be right
As the shadows we all follow
Are not as real as the light?
What voids fill as we lay and wallow
And from where

What mess of condaments will I slather over this palate?
I've gone and ruined my fucking sandwich.
But I'm still hungry and so I eat

This is my first entry, I'm not good at keeping journals. I'm kind of an inconsistant guy. I couldn't sleep and found some pictures of a SG burlesque show from months ago. Remembering how amazing it was, I signed up. This is the first website that I have ever paid for! Worth it? I don't know yet. It is almost 4:30 in the bright and...
