Pretend That You're Alone
A girl simply starting something new. Writer, photographer, musician, hopeless romantic. I'll do my best not to disappoint, but it's all based upon your own personal tastes.
A girl simply starting something new. Writer, photographer, musician, hopeless romantic. I'll do my best not to disappoint, but it's all based upon your own personal tastes.
In a house I cannot call home, I sit alone.
I scribble secrets of love and hate and sex and lust through pens that are always almost out of ink and inspiration.
Cold wisps snap at the inferno that rests upon my vampiric scalp and threaten to freeze over the churning ocean inside my thick skull.
Knobby knees and scarred tissue on dry skinned thighs play hide and seek from underneath a ratted comforter that has seen good days and bad days of the introvert soul that sought comfort and warmth in its old threads.
Soft feet as wide as oceans and long as tales wrestled each other in a frantic scuffle to occupy their time as their owner tapped away on a small screen of release and honesty that lifted the worries off her shoulder of the evil pair of suppressive creators crawling primitively across tile surroundings and babbling madly of traditions and hell as if they were God himself.
Her soulless heart and heartless soul became one and created a love child of bliss and passion inside her overburdened chest and for the first time in an eternity, she smiled, bearing her crooked yellowed teeth to a world that encouraged her to hide such flaws so no one would be bothered by her individuality.
In the dawn of paradise
Came a man
Who claimed to be Jesus
Rugged looks
And trusting eyes
Who knew he’s be full of lies?
In the year 1953
The world of children full of dreams
Of flying boys and fairy wings
A temple emerged
Old Jimmy Jones
With his bag of skeleton bones
He has yet to bury in his closet,
Made promises of salvation
Reeking of false revelation
Who knew he’d be full of lies?
In the British Guyana
With his army of camouflaged angels
He played God
Holding salvation tied to a string on a rod
With the taste of home
913 souls were lost
Forever their tortured souls will roam
Their memories buried in the frost
That lies on the tombstone of Old Jimmy Jones
Who claimed to be Jesus
Rugged looks
And trusting eyes
Who knew he’d be full of lies?
“With so many wars going on in the world, a lot of people wished to seek a faith they could rely on. The idea of salvation and an afterlife attracted a lot of people to the Christian faith. They were attracted to the preaching of forgiveness and a promising afterlife after they died.
When more and more people began to convert to Christianity, it eventually became so influential that even entire cultures or countries began to wrap it’s whole standing around it. The Byzantine culture, for example, believed their emperor was the deputy of Jesus Christ. They also built several monuments and made mosaics of biblical scenes.
Christians fought for this belief because without it, they wouldn’t have anything to believe in that give them reassurance of where their souls would go when they died.”
