With the tragic loss of the feed and after much debate and discussion. It's been decided to create a new thread. Soul space so to speak. A journal of sorts.

A place where I can dump some of the nonsense that goes on in my head.

While replies are welcome - they aren't necessary.

@mytwistedsoul

Yeah, this thread is still going.

Life is a series of endless challenges.

What is the lesson learned.

Who hears our cries for understanding.

And they whisper in the wind.

@mikenai Hey Mike! It's nice to see you! I'm sorry to hear things are still so messed up for you. If there's anything I can do to help just say the word. I'm not here as much as I used to be but I still pop in regularly

not sure how to ask. but I doubt it's possible either... sorry not questioning your capabilities. but certain stuffs are beyond anyone's control.

am even thinking of closing this account and merge back to the original member account.

myself well all I can say or think is, my life is probably done deal and doubt anything can fix anything or even make it just better than current.

but if there is anything that gives light of hope or perhaps you can help, I will definitely reach out.

@mikenai I understand. I think the same way about certain things too. I am sorry that things haven't gotten better for you. I had hoped with time, things would improve but I also know it's not that easy. I do still hope that things will get better for you and that you'll be able to find some peace

we make deals with the devil

that drop us to our knees

either a cult or religion

we trade our souls for dreams


we're no different than ghosts

just apparitions that bleed

can there be a price upon our souls

if we've taken them for free?


we're all so starved for affection

it's so painfully easy to see

if there's a *** lurking below us

that's probably where I'll be


if there's no cure for darkness

only perfectly imperfect disease 

when sickness slowly takes over

its hard to know what you need


every night

a demon whispers 

"but I can set you free"

so here we are once again


dancing....

with the devil in the moonlight

searching for space to be

@mytwistedsoul I almost don’t reply, because my words feel small after so much meaning. I read and have been reflecting. I just want to say, be where you are, Twist. It is your space that belongs to you, that no one can take from you, that only you can fill. What we each are, only we know. But whatever we are is ok. I’m not sure if I really understand where darkness ends and light begins. Maybe it is wrong to say, but sometimes I think they are not much different. There is suffering in both darkness and light. All we want is no more pain. Maybe if enough of us are in the dark together, it will feel different. I don’t know what I’m really saying. I think light, darkness, love energy, pain, the life we see and experience, it’s all not what it seems. 

With you. ❤️

@mytwistedsoul I clicked on your profile to try to find your page. I don’t know how long ago you made it, but I saw the poem there and wanted to tell you how beautiful it is. Well, I was looking for this because it felt like a long time since I’d seen you write. So this is to let you know that you were being thought of, and I hope you’re doing ok. ❤️ Be well friend.

@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas Hi there Pieces! It's nice to see you! 😊 I think it was just a few days prior to your visit. It's probably going to get changed but thank you! Trying to find something that has that right fit or feel to it. It's harder than one might think! 😬

@mytwistedsoul Oh yeah, I almost forgot: in the last two days I went through a depressive episode & have been ruminating on the old morbid thoughts... Been thinking I should do some art inspired by all that. I wouldn't try to post it here, though

@slowdecline48 Those episodes are hard to deal with 😞 It's good to find an outlet for it if you can. I can understand not posting it here though. There's always a good chance that someone would have an issue with it. I do hope that things get better for you Slow!

@mytwistedsoul I know what you mean! Words seem so limiting sometimes. It’s hard to capture all the little feelings and senses, and then to paint the picture for someone else to understand. Then also, each day our understanding or feelings about a situation evolve slightly. I’ll have to remember to check back every so often. 😊

@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas This is so true! Sometimes words just fail me. Or it turns into a huge internal debate on what to say and what not to say. I often find that it's easier to just not say anything.

I hope you find that comfortable place somewhere in the middle, where you can feel ok sharing when you’d like or not when it truly feels right for You.

the shadows grew thick 

where the whisper was born,

a secret pulled from flesh, 

raw and torn


they struck at the opening, 

frantic with dread,

tried to bury the sentence 

before it was said


they clawed through the wounds 

to silence the truth

no fingers could quiet the echo inside,

the more that they tore, 

the less they could hide

tbc......

their silence 

dug into the raw edge,
desperate to bury the thing that was spoken. they tore at the fracture
to stitch up the secret,
but fractures remain 
when the spirit is broken.
their fingers clawed through 
desperate scrabbling to tear away the truth 

they thought if they could 
make the silence bleed 
they could rewrite the words we chose to say 
but agony can train a voice to ring 
pressure only makes the marrow sing

mytwistedsoul OP September 2nd

the tissue tears, 

but logic holds its ground 
their frantic hands 
are clumsy, blind, and weak 
they buried me  
and stamped the earth 
to flatten out my name 
yet every drop that spilled 
became a seed  
every scar is flickering 
with the flame 
the winter froze the ground above my head choking the seeds before they had a chance

the flame went cold 
beneath the heavy snow 
as silence won its final, brutal dance 
no witness came to look 
where I fell 
the world moved on 
and chose the safer lie

the truth remains a locked, broken thing 
that only got to scream before it died 
I watch the light fade out behind their eyes not mine, 
but theirs, 
who killed to keep the dark 
I wonder if they know that winning dies, 
the moment they erased the final spark.
