I like to wallow.

I do. 

It's comforting, isn't it? 

Weaving a womb of sorrows about yourself, spinning a secret dark hollow of mind as a spider does a web, floating-drowing in amniotic tears - 

An embryonic peace; heavy and private, with grief a whispered lullaby, gentle as a caress over the enshrined foetus - 

But the rude awakening that is birth brings forth pain and insanity and awakeness. 

Who wants to be awake? Who wants to sleep? 

Is there a difference between the two...?

Oh, it's the most perfect horror that I know.

Terrible beauty is a cliché, but can't clichés be truth?

I and I wish not to be barren, for I am mother and child both in depression.
