Redirect to original
Description Shouting desperately for help but no ones listens, because it is all in your mind. Silenced and caged by the brooding shade that clips your wings to trap you in it. A small pain reaches you but then you notice that it stays with you, growing stronger until you feel numb and tired. You realize that you've been rotting on the inside and the person that you were is gone, dead and erased.

Emptiness remains so only pain can fill it as a new whole of despair.

I want to die, but I have to live, even if I'm not far from being in complete ruins...I need to continue on...for my art.
