PLEASE ... HEAR WHAT I'M NOT SAYING 3
I'd really like to be genuine, spontaneous, and me; but you have to help me. You have to help me by holding out your hand, even when that's the last thing I seem to want or need. Each time you are kind and gentle and encouraging, each time you try to understand because you really care, my heart begins to grow wings. Very small wings. Very feeble wings. But wings. With your sensitivity and sympathy and your power of understanding, I can make it. You can breathe life into me. It will not be easy for you. A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls. But love is stronger than strong walls, and therein lies my hope. Please try to beat down those walls with firm hands, but with gentle hands, for a child is very sensitive, and I am a child.

PLEASE ... HEAR WHAT I'M NOT SAYING 2
I idly chatter with you in the suave tones of surface talk. I tell you everything that's really nothing, nothing of what's crying within me. So when I'm going through my routine, don't be fooled by what I'm saying. Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying; what I'd like to be able to say; what, for survival, I need to say but I can't say. I dislike the hiding. Honestly I do. I dislike the superficial phony games I'm playing.
PLEASE ... HEAR WHAT I'M NOT SAYING 1
Don't be fooled me. Don't be fooled by the mask I wear. For I wear a Mask, I wear a thousand masks, masks that I'm afraid to take off, and none of them is me. Pretending is an art that is second nature with me, but don't be fooled.
...I give the impression that I'm secure, that all is sunny and unruffled with me, within as well as without; that confidence is my name and coolness is my game; that the waters are calm and that I'm in command and i need no one, But don't believe it; please don't.

Five Short Chapters
ONE
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
TWO
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
THREE
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in. It's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.
FOUR
I walk down the same street.
There is deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
FIVE
I walk down another street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.

I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.

Please Listen
And You Start Giving Me Advice,
You Have Not Done What I Asked.
When I Ask You To Listen To Me
And You Begin To Tell Me Why
I Shouldn't Feel That Way,
You Are Trampling On My Feelings.
When I ask You To Do Something
To Solve My Problem,
You Have Failed Me,
Strange As That May Seem.
Listen! All I Ask Is That You Listen.
Don't Talk Or Do--Just Hear Me.

Da Vinci Code 2
In London Lies A Knight a Pope Interred.
His Labour's Fruit a Holy Wrath incurred.
You Seek The Orb That Ought Be on His Tomb.
It speaks of Rosy flesh and seeded womb.
Da Vinci Code
An ancient word of wisdom frees this scroll
and helps us keep her scatter'd family whole
a headstone praised by templars is the key
and atbash will reveal the truth to thee

Oscar wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.
Those Who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautifulthings are cultivated.
For these there is hope.They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book.
Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
The nineteenth-century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.
The nineteenth-century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.
The moral life of a man forms part of the subject matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are true can be proved.
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything.
Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art.
All art is at once surface and symbol.
