“Doubt is a killer. You just have to know who you are and what you stand for.”

orphaned ideas are relentlessly nurtured in the twilight,
while children dream of places they'll never know.
and bearded men drink whisky at hours unfamiliar to most,
an old man on a train says a prayer - perhaps for us all.
a fleeting glimpse at genius in a back alley,
comprehending antiquity in dime store windows,
transcending existential realities with mechanical precision,
the smell of lost principles in a courtroom,
the unstretched yarn of moral fiber is less than a foot long
learning to sail on a sea of burdens,
yet drowning in inhibitions.

– James Hetfield

“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
