    im entering a new chapter in life and in my art
i feel it in my bones
my head is all mixed and shaken like some exotic drink

ive been lost in all these influences and im not sure what im doing anymore i get my art stuff ready i set up my paints and then my images vanish into my daydreams

its like somethings eating it away sampling my sanity as it takes away my art
its really my only outlet

but i might have a soultion to my destress but i feel like my art is heading into a darker more insane turn

of course those of you near and dear to me will see these pieces adn cxan jugde for yourself if this is good or bad...

lets just hope i can hold on to whats left of my head i feel the need to explode

im made of cob webs and smoke
If you breathe too deep

I live in a dieing world
Toxic fumes cloud the light

im made of fairy wings and princess smiles
if you stare too hard

I live in a acid soaked world
Drowning in my own thoughts

Im made of scars and poison
If you love too much





Im made of spider legs and butterfly kisses
If you think too loud

and  become what i hate

so im pondering because im baking things {me} but any way some one the otherday asked me a simple question yet i couldnt ask stright away it...just a three word sentence that ends with a ?
