The Wretched

Alright kids. I see the growth in profile views, I'm not asking you to join or subscribe or whatever you do here, but FEEDBACK! I crave it! ;) Anywho, here's another piece I've grown fond of, also written this year. Perhaps partially inspired by Nine Inch Nail's 'The Wretched'. The song and the piece go together well, if you care to look it up :) You may have noticed in the last piece (be you that faithful, which so far is doubtful. So scroll down.) That the spacing is not standard. Lately I've been using keyboard punctuation, spacing, and bolding to add emphasis to certain pieces. I don't really know how that started, as I rarely compose a rough draft on the computer. This piece I did on paper but with the same symbols. All words are in caps to allow varied interpretations of where phrases could end and begin. --- > here's submission number two ---
