I can feel my muscles atrophy.  This is no time of peace, how can there be so little to do?  It seems this is the battle of attrition.  I am holed up in my darkness, breathing only this rank air, and chewing on fat.  I gain no strength from it, but it keeps me alive.  Can you feel it?  The tension in the air?  The feeling like it's all going to coming crashing down, exploding in a hellfire that will consume us.  The dead silence that is my life sounds like screaming.  My hands hurt like I've been tearing at the walls that keep me in.  Let it begin!  I've been sleeping for too long.  And this fat has grown rancid.  My neck is tight.  Can you feel it?  Of course not.

I am an artist, which means only that my views of this world are unique, and twisted.  I see the world as two different people.  The person I must be to get along day to day.  The one who gets up begrudgingly in the early morning and goes to work at a career he hopes will provide for his loved ones.  The one who is worried about what others think, and what others say.  The one looking for a way out of the rat race, while simultaneously trying to win the same race.  And then there is the Knight.  The sword weilding champion who speaks his mind and devours his foes.  A poet and a warrior who meets his pain head on with a battle cry.  And this is his blog.  He will speak often in poetry, for he is a writer of music.  He is often angry and full of rage, and rightfully so, for the world is set against him, and his greatest battles are yet to come.  These are the stories of his battles......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21344687-113794559432487535?l=aknightofswords.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aknightofswords.blogspot.com/feeds/113794559432487535/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21344687&amp;postID=113794559432487535&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21344687/posts/default/113794559432487535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21344687/posts/default/113794559432487535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aknightofswords.blogspot.com/2006/01/it-has-begun.html' title='It has begun...'/><author><name>A Knight of Swords</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04333965132375131966</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
