"Sick of his own face; sick of his skin, of the dark. He crawls outside himself to sing-a better poet than most."

Tom himself is a cicada, always has been. The fear and panic forcing him further underground as everyone around him strives to reach the surface to sing. 

When a series of consequences leads to Tom meeting someone like him-someone struggling to get over his past faults and traumas, someone trying to get better and find hope; Tom is struck with the realization that he too, can get better-and that he, too can climb towards the sun and sing freely.

You Complete Me (TomTord)

13 parts Complete

You know that one person in your life, the one who you hate more than anyone in the whole world? Doesn't it seem like no matter what you do, they always seem to mess it up. Haven't you ever wished that maybe they would disappear. Perhaps then all of your problems could be solved. That is what you tell yourself, right? But then, when that wish actually comes true, you realize that the person you thought was tearing everything apart, was actually the only one holding it all together. And now they're gone. As much as I wished they did, none of these characters belong to me :P ⚠Warning⚠ Gore (but not really) Lots of swearing Insecure thoughts Mentions of suicidal actions Homophobic slurs *Completed*
