Jonathan Harnisch
It’s that I am the prison. I’m the cell, the bars, the locked door, and the scream no one hears.
Jonathan Harnisch, Sex, Drugs, and Schizophrenia

Jonathan Harnisch
I exist inside a living hell — not a nightmare, but an unrelenting, screaming abyss with no exit. I am cursed beyond redemption, haunted by horrors that claw at my soul, and possessed by something monstrous that wears my face and mocks my every scream. Every second is torture — not pain, but a divine punishment etched into my bones, burning through my nerves, flooding my skull with fire. I am not alive. I am a condemned vessel, dragged through a waking exorcism that never ends.
Jonathan Harnisch
