If I close my eyes, plug my ears, and hold my tongue, all of this will cease to exist. I can pretend it never happened. No one will blame me if I choose to shove these memories into the back of my mind.Leigh Hershkovich

Have you ever wanted something so desperately that you imagine it, day in and day out, until you have created an image of perfection that becomes the 'real thing'? Suddenly, all you have to live for is the image in your head that may not be real to anyone else in the world, but is most certainly real to you. Nothing is as perfect, not even the thing itself, as the image you have created in your mind.Leigh Hershkovich

I am only doing this because I was asked. They tell me that, sometime in the future, I will thank them for pushing me this way. They say that one day, when all this is over, I will come to terms with who I am and where I came from. Not gonna happen.Leigh Hershkovich

The limbo of life is like a song, a melody that comes around occasionally but that sticks in your head and never goes away.Leigh Hershkovich
5
Time is self absorbed, takes what it wants and doesn't return the favor. It is greedy, its pockets full of the lives of those left behind. It is a magician and a thief.Leigh Hershkovich
6
Trapped, cutting herself against the jagged edges of her emotions, she was a prisoner of her own spirit.Leigh Hershkovich

Do not try to understand. What I feel for you cannot be limited to words. I know that you have moved on with your life, yet I stand here, frozen in the midst of your spirit.Leigh Hershkovich

In this game against fate, I am losing. Miserably.Leigh Hershkovich

There was not an inch of solid ground anywhere in the world for me to call my own. I didn't belong anywhere. Had I disappeared, no one would have noticed.Leigh Hershkovich
10
I don't know where I am- somewhere between heaven and hell, a place of utter terror and endless confusion.Leigh Hershkovich
11
We sit together in the waiting room of one existence, waiting to be shuffled into the waiting room of the next. Not the existence of another lifetime, simply a different mindset, a different age, purpose, exile and a separate redemption. A separate world in which to wait.Leigh Hershkovich
12
Every man seeks the life he thinks he deserves.Leigh Hershkovich
13
I refuse to stay a prisoner to my body. I am going to free myself.Leigh Hershkovich
14
I believe that all people allow the act of victimization to take lead in their lives without realizing or trying to stop it. You hear of another person's problems, automatically feel the need to salve their pain, so you make it your own. After a while, it no longer matters if the problem was yours to begin with. You absorb their pain into your body, your blood stream, your soul. It becomes yours.Leigh Hershkovich

A machine! I have become a machine! It has taken over my life. How ironic! In a world of freedom and independence, my entire life now depends on a machine!Leigh Hershkovich

I want to release my soul from its prison cell, to silence the guards who tell me that I am not capable of living. Every voice that ever told me that I cannot achieve has, at this moment, become silenced. This cell is no longer my home.Leigh Hershkovich
