Sanity

DISCALIMER: I don't own Donnie Darko, but I do keep him in my basement. O...O

DEDICATION: This one's for Orlena. I love you more than tuna. XP

Swirling, twirling

Pretty colors

Broken glass inside my head

Dancing, whirling

Ever changing

They want me or Gretchen dead.

-

I know more than you know.

I feel more than you feel.

I'm not crazy, this whole world is.

"I made a new friend…"

"Real or imaginary?"

"Imaginary."

Who are you to say what's real?

Who are you to say he's imaginary?

His eye bled

I've never seen you bleed

He saved my life

You twist my life

You plunge my thoughts into darkness and set fire to my burial shroud

-

And is darkness really all that bad?

For out of the darkness, Frank said unto me

And is Fire really all that destructive?

Fear and Love--there are more emotions than that

Maybe you can be placed on a neat little line on a chalkboard, then erased

But my X isn't even in the room…

My X is written in the clouds with smoke and flame from the piece of future that changed my past

-

How does it feel to choose death?

No different than choosing life.

How does it feel to choose life?

Well, that is a question, now isn't it.

-

Ask not for whom the bell tolls

What if the bell tolled and there was no one left to hear it but me?

What if the bell tolled and I was the only one who couldn't hear it?

-

Am I alone? Yes, I suppose I am alone

But for Grandma Death

And I'll have another friend.

Neither real nor imaginary

I'll be meeting Death himself soon

We have a lot to talk about.

-

The scary bunny saved my life

But I wasn't scared

Frank would never hurt me

But you would.

And you did.

-

The mirror makes a funny noise when I stab it.

Frank looks funny when his eye's all weird like that.

Flames and smoke make the room look funny.

-

The pills are to keep me tethered.

My visions are to a way to slip the leash and run into a net

-

Cellar door

Cellar door

Cellar door

No, the most beautiful combination of words is whatever comes out of Gretchen's pretty mouth

-

Yes I think about girls a lot

I think about Gretchen a lot

I wonder if Gretchen thinks about me.

-

The unexamined life is not worth living. Is the unexamined death worth remembering?
