Is your pain truly real,
When you only lied to yourself?
With baited breath and slim guarantees,
You’ve only assured your loneliness.
Is it the solitude where you confide?
Do your demons lend a kind ear?
Somewhere in the void that is your passion,
Lies a place where the truth still hurts.
Do you see the blood stains on your dress?
Are your emotions too hard to impress,
…upon yourself.
Dreams,
Are only made for fools,
Who believe the lies they tell themselves,
When nothing else will suffice.
Where is your redemption?
Is it underneath your bed?
Can you explain the memories,
Of visions not yet corrupted?
Can you wash the blood stains from your dress?
Is the truth that hard to suppress,
…within you
Your redemption has left you,
In the place that you are safest.
As you corrupt the memories.
you havent developed yet.

These are my thoughts. Hopefully my songs of despair will help you realize the intrinsic value in yourself. Perhaps my sonnets of emotion will have a direct impact on your current situation.

Methods and Inspiration
GENERAL:
From time to time, I get emails from people asking about my perspective and my outlook on life. Let me say that I am not depressed or "emo" or anything like that. I am quite happy with myself, but need this outlet to "bleed" feelings into a medium.
METHOD: I do tend to keep things bottled up, and this is a valve to release the steam of life's frustrations. I achieve this by subjecting myself to emotional states; what you recieve is raw emotion. If anything, it is mood trapping and projecting at its most effective.
The downside to this method is that, like any other true empath, the energies can linger with me. Because of this phenomenon, my writings tend to be very draining. But in the end, it is worth it. I want you to feel the same pain I fell as I write.
INSPIRATION: At the end of each month, I will post what my specific inspiration was for each poem in the previous month. This is a nice way for you to understand my perspective, as well as read up on older poems and leave more comments!
FINAL THOUGHTS: Lastly, if you want me to link to you, please don't hesitate to contact me .

I like the word redemption. Did you start this blog today? Very creative idea. Have you switched from music to writing? What does the dress symbolize?
It is strange that I stumbled upon your "clarity" today. I have lived these words. Over the course of the past three days, I have shuffled through dark closets in seek of my redemption. I have found torn, scraps of faded truth, of what I used to be. One tattered shoe box on the very top shelf is all that I have left of me. The only thing I can bring myself to do is wash my dress until the stains dissappear. Leaning over the bucket of my tears, I am gratified by sadness. Thank you for knowing such pain.
Inspiration:
This is based on my speculations of an ex of mine. What is important to notice is the different emotions and tones exemplified in each stanza.
1. Bitterness
2. Empathy
3. Wonder
4. Pessimism
5. Taunting
6. Realization/Sadness/Pity
7. Closure
