How can I hide this abysmal darkness, br this gnawing pain and misery inside… br br How long will I put on the mask br and tell the world that my life is brimming br with passion and meaning… br br How long will I hold on to the lament of my soul br amid the poignant forms and colors of my art br without losing my sanity or my reason to live… br br It is so cold in here… br here…inside this shivering and orphaned soul…br br Danny C.
