twenty years across the sea

If it sounds like the composer is trying to blast you with the orchestra until you're as deaf as he is, it's Beethoven.

If it sounds like the composer might be a vampire, it's Bach.

If it sounds like the composer is trying to set the violins on fire, it's Vivaldi.

cw: mentions of blood, self harm, and self deprecating talk, also kind of suicidal ideation

there is this everlasting pain in my being.

i feel it when i wake up

i definitely feel it when i am falling asleep

i feel it in my dry eyes that cry impossible tears

salty water heavy on my face

does nothing to soothe my aching bones

there is this hollow in my soul

i feel it in the empty arms that hug me

the pain when i do not bleed

the awkwardness when someone calls out to God in my name

am i not comfortable in my skin because i have yet to grow into it or because i have let it be everyone else’s before my own?

maybe it’s because i have a deep, burning hatred for it

it is the yearning to break my mirror because i despise what looks back at me but the fear of the seven years after

it is the desperate clawing at my skin until it gives way like a scratch ticket

i never win

it is craving to make a self portrait but not being able to stand to look at myself

i am my mothers failure, and in turn my own

it is feeling better when i am ripped open physically

but cowering like a wounded animal when someone figures me out

it is closing my eyes so i do not see what will come for me

but the darkness leaves me alone with myself

i open my eyes to run

but i am so tired.

i am tired of running.

i am broken and desperate and depressed

i am in pain and i am hollow

i am human

and i wish i wasn’t

not to avoid emotions

but to avoid life.

find a cure to the oxygen entering my lungs

so they can leave me to rest in my coffin.

i am tired.

all i do is sleep.

Poseidon: after everything you've done, how will you sleep at night?

I adore this recent trend (if that's the right word) of letting an orchestra play classical music on a festival. It's magical to see thousands of festival-goers going absolutely wild on Beethoven. Mosh/circlepits, crowd surfing. It's wonderful to see the orchestra and the audience having the time of their lives.

Telemachus's life post-Odyssey has the potential to be so funny bc bro is suddenly going from the son of, essentially, a single mom to the son of two VERY in-love middle aged sweethearts who never had to learn boundaries about what is/isn't appropriate to say around their kid.

Penelope: I knew that "beggar" was you the whole time, you know.

Odysseus, laughing: Oh, really?

Penelope: You can disguise a lot of things, but I'd know that ass anywhere.

Telemachus: I am begging you guys to keep it in your pants for ONE family dinner.

An incredible photo of Paul Simonon, bassist for The Clash, with his serious and intense expression. Paul wears a black jacket with metallic zippers, his hair is short and light.
