    Alpha, The Beginning
    If I were to tell a blind man what I look like,
    I'd say,
    Imagine the color of hate and rage tempered by compassion.
    Because it used to be
    I couldn't tell my dreams from reality
    Unless I was in pain
    And sometimes it hurts so bad
    My shaking tears go numb
    I can't sleep at night
    Weary of cold dry cell walls
    Tourmenting my dreams
    Like
    Dancing with the devil, paralized
    If they break me
    If this place breaks me
    By myself, I'm helpless
    So I fall to my knees and pray
    A twisted song for salvation
    When in the dark silence
    My heart beats of revelations
    As I wait to feel the breeze blow of genesis
    And for a moment
    Forget the pain.

    I appreciate the love. I wrote that when I was 16 in going through a rough time.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
