About Me

I'm a down-to-earth Extrovert, a Shrink, Black Suit-Corporate Drone, South African and a Dark Romantic that loves to wear White. I was brought up to be Humble and Kind. I'm also a Woman, a Friend, a Lover, a Music Connoisseur, a friendly person and a Bitch (before I've had my caffeine injection in the morning).
I put Capital letters where ever I please and want to be a stand-up Comic when I grow up.
I regret, but I don't have time to slow down, Life is too short.. Just Fall from Grace....
(Putting holes in Happiness - Marilyn Manson)
~New Messiah of the Week~
she met him in a darkened room
he had issues with the light
his hair combed back from his face
his jacket pulled on tight
she never thought of running away
she never thought of faith
he took her arm and he took her thoughts
and with a look of gentle grace said - Follow me.
away from this whorish noise
away from philistine
they walked through the
radium fields
the salt, the shore, the brine (he said)
i'll show you where to start
i'll show you how to cry
don't judge the weaker men
don't swallow in your pride - just Follow me.
she said "everyone has a borrowed opinion
everybody's read a book
'the science of discrimination'
'the art of looking good'
and i don't need another pagan ritual
i've seen 'lord of the rings'
don't give me self-realization
or oprah's pick of the week"
"and i don't feel much for politics
i'm not into black comedy
give me the fundamentals"
he smiled once more and said - Follow me.
we've learned to shake the system
so well that we've become
another system bent on shaking
all that has been done
i'm so tired of being told
about enlightenment inside
if god was contained within us
hey what about suicide?
show me a celestial force
content with being raped
show me that inner power
happy to be maimed
i've set my sights on something
something bigger than myself
we're all f*** up in some way
we all could use some help - so, Follow me..

I have wonderful people in my Life - they are Individuals - not the scene, movement, group or box You have chosen to put them in.
