for my passions. energy builds up with no release, and i can feel it getting denser, weighing me down. i feel like i could fly if i could find a way to get this off my chest, but it seems like it's here to stay. these intangible shackles that bind me to this world, not to this planet, but this psychic labyrinth of ideas and ideology, rules and ( Read more... )
