you delicate, precious, dying thing!

The bobcat (Lynx rufus), also known as the red lynx, is a medium-sized cat native to North America. It ranges from southern Canada through most of the contiguous United States to Oaxaca in Mexico. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2002, due to its wide distribution and large population. Although it has been hunted extensively both for sport and fur, populations have proven stable, though declining in some areas.

I'm afraid it's too late

[rufusx2]

Their songs Echo inside my head

[rufusx2]

you have a choice, which is more than most can say,

[rufusx2]

SUBMIT YOURSELF TO A HIGHER POWER

[rufusx2]

no matter how many layers you peel away its still you tiny and rotting

[rufusx2]

my curse is to be... what i already am!

[rufusx2]

i cannot tell if my smarter thoughts are the manic haze returning or just sleep deprivation

[rufusx2]

it was the manic haze

[rufusx2]

i scream out to the void! no, i scream out to the world! and they are listening! its trying to burst from my neck and i have to set it free! this is all that matters!

[rufusx2]

the freeing thing it dances around me i can feel the light and sounds the humming and hissing of the entire world waiting with bated breath for It in Its entirety to claw its way out of my heavy body but it pulls and pulls and pulls and despite it all it takes me with it

[rufusx2]

i can see the lines everywhere

[rufusx2]

had a half-dream last night in which right as i laid down after waking up the second time in the middle of the night i felt myself drift off Quite literally and my eyes were squeezed shut but i could see the dark void around me and i knew i was drifting deeper into it and In fact i somehow knew despite not seeing anything distinct that i was falling into hell i felt myself be tilted backwards and down so i struggled i knew i had to get back up towards heavens light but it was so bright despite my eyes still being closed in the physical world and im quite sure i was half-awake at this point but it hurt to look at and i was so terrified of that light i knew was humming despite not being able to hear a thing that i allowed myself to drift back down again until i was able to open my eyes

[rufusx2]

RELINQUISH CONTROL TO A HIGHER POWER

[rufusx2]

i feel such longing
