Torment

I wrote this while listening to this piece of music. So I'd like you to do the same.Do it slowly. Especially the banjo part. Please.Ask yourself why you're giving the answer you're giving.The music just makes it better, so listen to it whenever but please do listen to it. It's a beautiful piece, by a musical genius.

Have you ever wanted to paint the visuals that you see inside of your head?

Have you ever had tunes in your head you couldn't play? No matter how much you tried?

Have you ever thought of  beats and rhythm  that you couldn't explain to people or play yourself?

Have you ever reached the point where no matter how much you tried, you couldn't get the picture right...and whatever was on the sheet of paper in front of you was nothing like what you had in mind?

Have you ever wished you could shove a hook up your nostrils and pull the ideas out?

Have you ever suffered from fits of madness.....a point where you start believing there's something very wrong with you?

Have you ever wished that you could pull the plug on your imagination.......silence the thousand voices screaming to be heard at the same time......silence the whispers that haunt you at night?

Have you ever wanted to scream to the point where you lost your voice ?

Have you ever wanted to drown in sound, color and sensation?

Have you ever wished your skill matched your drive ?

Have you ever wished you had what it takes?

Have you ever wanted something so bad.........that you don't know what you would sacrifice for it?

Have you ever loved something so much........that you reach a point where it feels the same as hate?

Have you ever thought that all the blessings you receive.......all the abilities you're gifted with...feel more like a curse?

Have you ever felt like your blood carried poison?

Have you ever felt the compulsive need to keep your mind in a stimulated state at all times?

Have you ever felt that certain things, people, substances, sensations, block your thought process?

Have you ever wished you could fall forever?

Have you ever wondered what you consciously thought of when you were a baby?

Have you ever tried to remember what it was like before the age you can remember?

Have you ever wanted to print the photographs you've taken with your eyes and saved inside your head?

Have you ever bitten into fruit that tastes like the produce of heaven?

Have you ever tried to recreate the satisfaction gained after biting into your favorite food from when you were a kid?

Have you ever laughed for no reason?

Have you ever cried for no reason?


Have you ever been in so much pain.....that after a moment or two, you can't tell it from pleasure?


Have you ever wanted to drown in sound, color and sensation?


Have you ever wished you could close your eyes forever so you don't have to put it down on paper anymore?

Have you ever wished you could fall forever?

Have you ever wished you never woke up?

Wake up.
