lyrics
Friday 26th March 2004:
Tired of life - so tired I now return to the childish habit of journal writing in search of solace. Dear diary, I am different…
Twenty-seven years old and never had a woman - never loved (if such a thing as ‘love’ is possible). Though outwardly I strive to be the picture of normality, they do not trust me, these sirens; they sense the difference in me.
And if I am honest, haven’t I sensed it myself? Welcomed it even, at times, this manifestation of a god in me. Late at night, when sleep escapes me: A voice! A presence! I am different!
No! Stop! I am tired, so tired of this life. And there is nothing – how could there be?
