About the dark journey of complete self exploration.

To know one’s self, to know the works, with a vivid eye to see and spy; on yourself deep within where tragedy ends and chaos begins; ending with a sullen tear, blazing in a furious fear, a fear of the truth that which belongs a longing deceit now prolongs; the time with who you speak and feel the spinning of that fatal wheel; turns faster in the palms of sorrow controlling yet another morrow; controlling yet another day a plague of illness along the way; catch the cold- a bumpy ride, take a risk to see inside.

    I think most people, myself included, have great difficulty with genuine and honest introspection. We hesitate to probe the soul or criticize the tender parts…We rarely hold ourselves to the same standard by which we judge others. We fear the truth within and hide it, even from ourselves.

    This is the product of a writing exercise I really enjoy doing where I basically just write the longest sentence I possibly can. It keeps me on my grammatical toes and for some reason usually ends up with a bit of flow and rhyme. So I’m not quite sure what it is.

    Hi, Kellee, how are you?
    No offense, but even though you make a valiant effort at writing an extremely long sentence, the grammar is actually slightly off. There are a few sentence segments that don’t actually earn their placing. If I may make a suggestion? First define your true subject and your true predicate, then just keep adding modifiers to each, in equal portions and on opposing sides to maintain the balance. It will help you to keep the meaning of your sentence clear without resorting to segmenting. Like this:
    Subject: I wanted; Predicate: to jump.
    In my anger, I wanted to jump into the river. In my anger, I wanted so much to jump head first into the river. In my anger and jealousy, I wanted so much to jump head first into the river and drown. In my anger and jealousy, after she dumped me, I wanted so much to jump head first into the river, where it was fastest, and drown. And so on. Anyway, I hope you can see my point that adding sentence fragments one after the other is not nearly as succinct as lining up your subject and predicate with linear coherence.

    This one is neat. I’ve never seen anything else like it.
