Day 1 Quotes:

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

We loved with a love that was more than love.” – Edgar Allan Poe

“Oh, my God,

I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee

And I detest all my sins

Because I dread the loss of heaven,

and the pain of hell

But most of all because I love Thee,

And I want so badly to be good” – Madonna

“I have nothing now but praise for my life. I’m not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can’t stop them. They leave me and I love them more. … What I dread is the isolation. … There are so many beautiful things in the world which I will have to leave when I die, but I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready.” – Maurice Sendak, author of Where The Wild Things Are

Unscripted I

Posted on September 27, 2016 by The One-Eyed Angel

They say ignorance is bliss,

And yet,

It is this lack of knowledge that is preventing me from fully living my life,

If it’s not one thing,

It’s the next,

Isn’t it?

That’s life,

Right?

I lie here on the ground as I peer ahead,

Not too far away,

Daunting tasks that leave me overwhelmed and drained,

And unable to even indulge in my own passions and splendor,

It just seems…

It just seems like there’s so much hate in this world,

So much depression,

So much pain,

So much pain –

in its many forms,

And how can something so dreadful stem from something that’s supposed to be so beautiful,

Perhaps that’s why Poseidon said that Eros is the most feared being in mankind,

This arrow struck me,

It’s still inside me,

This arrow leaves me immobile…

Leaves me paralyzed on this ground,

Got me right in my spine,

Unable to move…

Forward,

Unable to move at all,

And whatever progress I seem to make is nothing…

Everyone is busy doing something…

Everyone is busy…

Everyone is busy,

Too busy for me,

And all I can do is lay here,

Taking a short break from…

This overwhelming,

Daunting,

Long list of tasks I must endure,

Who else will hurt me?

What else will hurt me?

I don’t know what to do,

Just moments ago,

I felt as if I was in that moment,

I felt my heart ripped to shreds,

My mind in desperate search for memories,

To answer any fallible questions I can come up with,

Any at all,

And what is there to do,

Huh?

You pay bills,

Go to work,

Go to school for a career,

This loneliness is baffling,

I claim loneliness isn’t real,

But it seems to be the only thing that is,

It seems all I do is wait,

Waiting for something or someone or a miracle,

Perhaps?

My God,

I want to believe in God,

I want so desperately to believe in God,

I am so sorry for ever doubting you,

But nothing can save me now,

No one can save me now,

But I love it when they try,

Oh I love it so…

Because that period doesn’t last forever,

Eventually they give up,

They walk away because my misery reminds them of their own miseries that they claim they have conquered but have just repressed,

I see myself in everyone I come across,

They probably see me in themselves as well,

Because what are we but reflections of something far greater,

We experience love and heartbreak,

And abandonment,

And abuse,

And pain,

And grief,

Sadness,

Loneliness,

Despair,

Loss,

Contention in dissonance,

Retribution through revenge,

We are such fallible beings,

Aren’t we?

Such beautiful,

Fallible beings…

Happy 4th Birthday, Silly!

Silly,

It’s been over a year now since your previous owner gave you to me. I love you so so much! My life has been very tough, to say the least, up until now, and I know things will never be 100% better. However, since I adopted you as my own, I realized there’s this nurturing and loving side to me I never thought I had. People have screwed me over so many times. (I know I tend to generalize a lot…) I have a soft spot for animals. You are a vibrant creature, and I feel so grateful that you are in my life. Silly, baby, my little mama kitty, you are so loved, so very, very loved. You put a smile on my face every morning simply because you’re always there for me. I enjoy taking care of you, feeding you, petting you, playing with you…. Heck, I love you so much that I even enjoy changing your litter box. It’s good to know that the place that you do your business in is always nice and clean for you. And at night, I always look forward to you crawling on my tummy and laying there as I pet you slowly and tenderly. You are the light in the day’s beginning that revives me. You are the moon that reminds me that I am not alone even in my most darkest hour. Silly, you are a trustworthy roommate, a compassionate friend, and most of all, you are my little birthday girl! Happy 4th birthday! And may God bless you with many more! I love you!

Hiatus

Posted on September 7, 2016 by The One-Eyed Angel

Hello to my exquisite fallen angels! I’m sorry I haven’t pleasured you with my literary bounty as of late. I currently have Pharyngitis. On top of that, I had an allergic reaction to two bee stings a week ago. That all affected my job and college performances. Fortunately, the bee stings are history and the sore throat is gone. (Yet my voice is still recovering, and I really miss singing…) I must admit, for the first time in my life, I finally feel content and important. Full time student, stable job, paying my bills, strengthening friendships, getting closer to family members, and finally not stressing over a guy. Thank God! I love my life! I have writer’s block now though. My writing abilities tend to stem from the horrors of my past but things have been going well recently. I guess that’s one drawback from my happiness. I love you all! The One-Eyed Angel is nothing without my fallen angels! Have a wonderful day! Over and out.
