Unfold me: I am a dollar bill with a thousand creases, a thousand times spent. I have been passed from prince to pauper and back again. And I am liquid. I have been pieces of dreams, and I have been horrors bought. I cannot tell which is which, between the innocent fantasies and the tortures I have been used for; the man who stares from the front is a blind man — all money is blind, didn't you know? If we weren't, I would imagine that every dollar bill through the world would be wearing a look of shock. We've all been there; don't let any other bill tell you different.
I think I dream of being saved. Stored for years in a child's piggy bank, the kind of kid that doesn't cheat and squeezes money out two days after he puts it in. We get worn easily sometimes, when we are thrown around.
Fold me in half: I am a dollar bill. I might some day save your life. But sometimes, the cash value of your life is less than the desire of me.

So, comments are working... Hm. I'm just wondering why no one is leaving comments...

because what your saying is uncommentless. Your entire site, apart from your actual storytelling part, is just a medium that you use to speak your mind, or what it is that you would like to think is in your mind. Most of what you say is obviously fabricated, and not an actual representation of your actual state of mind. Schizophrenic or not, perhaps if you were to state something meaningfull, that others can relate to then you would get some responses. Calling yourself a dollar bill, and whining about your self worth doesnt generate conversation...it just gets responses from people like me who see through your cry for pity, and to the pitiful exploits that you have attempted.
No offense meant, this is just my interpretation of yoru site ( which I have been visiting for the last several months after discovering my own schizophrenia and looking for answers )

regardless of how it is delivered, i find what 'stand' has to say to be quite interesting. an escape from the traditional blogs that populate the net these days... his blog seems like a departure from life. i find some worth in that.

beaver, what does "uncommentless" mean? Also, one may wonder why you keep coming back to a site that you think is "whining" and "pitiful"; you have been visiting such a site "for the last several months"?

I dont know if its too late to generate conversation surrounding this again or not, but regardless...Stand, as I said at the end of my posting "No offense meant". I guess that particular posting somehow through me off...i apologize if you are somehow offended. You ask why I keep returning to this site, even though I find it just to be your outlet for 'whining'. 'Whining' is perhaps a mis-leading word...or adjective that is...lets replace it with 'Pleeing' rather than Conversing. I do enjoy reading your posings and poems, but my argument, if it must be called that, would be that this forum would be so much more interesting and stimulating if you were to post questions, or discuss topics or ideas where you didnt just state what it was that you thought and wait for people to tell you how sorry thyey feal for you. There are more of us that share your problems out there, and I think some 'conversation' or 'debate' ( you can quote me on those ) is a good thing, and perhaps if you were to just let your guard down for a second and not make so many statements, and made more suggestions...this would be a warmer site. Anyways, thats what I meant the first time around...have a good day all.
