A Jaded Soul

Baby, I got a fever

I'm not feeling too well

I'm so under the weather

I'm so under your spell

- Corpse Husband (song: under the weather)

Tortured poet

you infected my heart with your cruel love

My alone feels so good. I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude.

“I know this transformation is painful, but you’re not falling apart; you’re just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful.”

— William C. Hannan

Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge. If you are never alone, you cannot know yourself.

Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra

“I never change, I simply become more myself.”

— Joyce Carol Oates
