Do you have any idea what it’s like
to sit down and write
for an hour straight
and channel all your hate
through a made-up character thats mean
and in terms of evil, isn’t clean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever wondered what it’s like
to sit down and strike
at the demons in your mind
and hope to find
the truth about your past
but the images flash by too fast?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you ever try to listen
to the visuals that glisten?
Did you ever try to hear
the invisibility of fear?
Did you ever try to eat
the sounds of your enemy’s feet?
Have you ever tried to taste
the swift motions of haste?
Have you ever tried to feel
like you can’t possibly be real?
Have you ever tried to touch
that imaginary crutch?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever taken that dirt,
mixed it with rock,
making it hurt,
and not running out of stock?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How about taking that number,
multiplying it by 10,
then taking some lumber,
and putting it in a den?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
