[WP] "Only in death can I be free"
Time is nothing. The illusion of grandiose obsession towards hubris is ignorant. The money spent on my clothes, the women drooling over my body, and the men envying my power, it is all meaningless. I remember when I was a kid, Brandon Pollock - like the artist - kicked my ass everyday. I despised him. One time in midd...

[WP] "Only in death can I be free"
Five men on a boat lost far at sea, Drew straws on who would be set free, I thanked the God, the Sun, and the Sky, For the man who was chose t'was not I, Now there are but four lost poor men, And still hunger will soon come again, Then the boat still floating far at sea, Will have upon it only three.

[WP] "Only in death can I be free"
I'm tired of not being able to pick up my kids, touch my wife's silky smooth hair or feel her body against mine. I'll never feel the wind breeze through my hair as I walk hand in hand with my wife and kids at the lake. I am nothing but the master of my own life, I refuse to be a burden shackled to this hand of cards ...

[WP] "Only in death can I be free"
Frustration is the first word I can use to fully describe the extent of the emotion I feel in daily life. That dead weight on my chest as I breathe, it's almost as if I am wheezing society's views and tropes, it's dull status quo slowly poisoning me. Anger would be the second, my hate of the fools around me. The men...

I held the bottle in my palm, staring at it with the eyes of a man who has no hope. For me at least, there is none. Having the entire world at my command brings me no joy, only misery, despite the entertainment and fantastical luxuries I am entitled to. The dancers stumble, the servants stutter, and the chefs sweat int...

I used to drink 3 cans of Pepsi a day, before it all happened. Before the government knew the truth. You see, people used to think Pepsi was just something you endured when the restaurant didn't serve coke, the second class citizen of cola. But this simply isn't the case, Pepsi isn’t just a refreshing beverage, it’s th...
