you made the virus, now deal with me, your precious disease

Passion is the new cancer, it's sweeping the nation.
Love is dying out, just like disco, its going out of style.
A dream so real, it's like I've done a ball of blow.
The rushing feeling I get inside of my chest,
you make my heart pound inside of its cage.
Angry fists pounding against the wall, trapped with no where to go.
A thin layer of fog sets over my kingdom,
laying in my backyard staring up at the kingdom I want to own.
The settling dew covers my body from head to toe,
I'll never know salvation- even in my final tragedy I'll suffer forever.
Awake for ever, even in this coma I can hear you breathing.
I took my final breath and now I'll never exhale,
crying out your name as my nerves begin to die off, one by one.
Scratching at my veins with pins in my hands,
sharp knuckles puncturing the skin- releasing the itch of its duty.
A new way to deal with all of this fucking stress,
bloody hands and again I'll do the same thing because my soul can't escape.
Not now, not yet, not anytime soon, I still need it.
I'll need it until the day I'm done playing this game,
until the day I'm tired of tormenting myself.
Oh lord I can't wait until I'm bored of this mental S&M.
Constantly, obsessively, I play this game with myself.
Schizophrenic nightmares, memories that haunt my subconsciousness.
Behind my face, in my head their is always at least three, sometimes
four voices.
But unfortunately you can't count on any one of us,
incidentally I'll get over myself and my little problems.
I'll get over this soap opera and turn the lights out.

I KEED.

I don't understand why Love will vanish while Passion thrives, they're the same emotion though at different gradations and if one disappears, the other one loses value and ultimately loses meaning because there's no other point to compare the strength of it to.

also, where on the scale is admiration, obsession, or even infatuation?

this is thought provoking indeed.

I'm confused. Are the cliches intentional? If not, you need to find some new metaphors. If so, you need to make it clear that you are using them for effect.

Take a lesson from Mozart... Just because you did something when you were young, doesn't give it a carte blanche to be awful. If it's worthy of praise, it doesn't matter how old you were when you wrote it. If it's not, don't use your age as a scapegoat.

This reminds me, I just recently stumbled upon a World War II epic I wrote in sixth grade. Illustrated too! I may try to scan it and post it. It features Sebastian "B-21" Jones, a paratrooper and all-around Nazi-killing machine who adopts a puppy in the jungle whilst wreaking havoc. I'm not entirely sure which part of Germany or France this jungle battle occurred in, but it was awesome.

no, unfortunately. and yes, i know, 'no advice unless you are in it,' but never hurts to depend on the kindness of strangers![hardy har!]
when I can afford 40$ that's the first thing I shall be treating myself to.
