"I am happy and most connected when..."
I'd like to stay
But every day
Everything pushes me further away
"I am mentally and physically energetic while..."
if you could show
Help me to know
how it's supposed to be
Where did it go ?
"I am a meditating vegetarian tango dancer , who seeks inspiration..."
Pleading and
Needing and
Bleeding and
"What I value most at this point in my life is..."
Feeding
Exceeding
Where is everybody ?
"For the time being I am working as a scientist in..."
Breathe echoing the sound
Time starts slowing down
Sink until I drown
(please) I don't ever want to make it stop
"No photo yet, but most of my friends say that I am..."
And it keeps repeating
Will you please complete me
"Either this is a bad photo or..."
Now everything is clear
I erase the fear
I can disappear
The quotes contain snippets of ads placed on singles sites.
The rest are lyrics from the songs "Please" and "Where is everybody?"
by Nine Inch Nails.

i am a total NIN beliver,, i love their work,, and having it set with the 'soul searching' questions the singles sites ask was sheer genius...
what you seek,, you just may find... then what???
Thanks Paisley. I have been having trouble coming up with material , so I interspersed the ads with lyrics as a surreal comparison and contrast.
This is an excellent idea. Some of the ads from singles sites contain lines that are quite profound. And Nine Inch nails lyrics are bordering on genius. I really, really like this.
As well as the lyrics acting as a contrast I think they almost acted as the unspoken desires of the person placing the ad or maybe what they really wanted to say in the ad. Very cool!
This was so deeply creative and...touching, actually. Beautifully woven together.
Thank you Selma and Epiphany.
Puna, what a creative idea..sometimes writers block gives birth to amazing things!
