Favorite Quote:
Do you know the only value life has is what life puts upon itself? And it is of course overestimated, since it is of necessity prejudiced in its own favor. [You] do not lose anything, for with the loss of yourself, you lose the knowledge of loss.

At last I awake!
From sleep
Form dreams
Delusions of importance.

But now I see
The world
As it is truly
A living breathing hell.

It suffocates me
As soon it knows
that I have seen
It must not be revealed.

But truly, who?
Who suffocates whom?
Do I?
Does it?
Nonetheless, my air is gone.

And none shall know.
I am alone.
