The First of the Annointed

" For so many years I had nothing. All I hoped for was a chance to make something of myself. I was lost and could not find my way. I resorted to violence, chaos, and drugs to keep myself busy. For as long as I could remember, I had been used and abused. My talents, my "silver tongue," were all I was needed for. It was total hell, and I had been planted into the middle of it.

I developed Insomnia at a very young age. It was horrific, and tiring, but I dealt with it as best as I could. I would go for days, even a week or two, without sleep. During these times I would have these....visions, if you will. I could see this person, myself, standing there in the shadows smiling. Swarming around myself I could see locusts, millions of them everywhere. But they were not hurting my. Quite the contrary actually, they were supporting me.

I knew at that moment, that I had found the power to help myself, within myself. I was the key decider in my life. I had all the power I needed. All I had to do is look within myself, and know how strong I was.

It was shortly after that that I knew that my brains were going to take me places, many places. It was then that I based my life on knowledge. I knew that learning was the best way to succeed.

so, I came up with this to keep me going:

I am nothing without my knowledge
My knowledge is nothing without me
I am alone without my thoughts
My thoughts help me be me
blend it all together
I am The Lokust
The lokust is me...

And there you have it. I am The Lokust. The Lokust is me.
