Month one of my new life is over, and I figure those of you who care might be wanting a status report. That is to say, you never thought about it, but now that I've mentioned it it sounds like a really good idea. Unfortunately I don't have much to say...
However, I will be starting a new trend with this blog. I was reading through one of my old journals the other night and found some very postable material. Blogger has a fuction where I can enter my own post times and dates, and since I have these entries dated I will be inserting them into their respective places. The very first entries in my blog are now new, up to the old beginning "A letter from Dommy." The only other new blog is "A New Age" under September.
Thanks for reading.

Partitioned
Two minds, two people
at once.
One free, one locked away.
Which is real?
If anything can be given this name...
For both
Of us are willing, sane.
One of us
suffers, while the other lives free.
And "we"
don't know how long it would be
before relief,
sweet relief for both
and not just me.
For he is triggered by thoughts
beyond himself
Forced into becoming
something else.
To free him I must employ
a myriad
of talents, manipulations,
and skills.
For these bars impair
my will,
So free me swiftly, and then
we fight.
