21/M I alone, am the king of rats.
Oh misery, oh my, oh my— Why do you follow me around? In my soul, in my hair, I see you everywhere. Each day feels like a slog when I know you’re around. Oh misery, oh my, oh my.

Misery
A prisoner of my own desire, balancing the slippery slope. “This time I’ll be better” I say - Unknowing of what lies ahead. Weeks go by, the urge returns. I must do something fun, something to numb the pain. And now - the snake eats its tail.

Slippery slope
First, you draw a square, inside it — three more. The one at the top serves to control. Lead a line down, and connect the block — Memory matrix is what it’s called. Draw a line, then add some more — and you’re almost ready to go. There’s one last block that’s set to show: Call it the decoding central, so we know what it’s for. Give it some lines that lead out right — And now we know what’s inside RAM... right?

What's inside RAM
A shell stands in the wind unsure of what it is but first a man walks up to it pick and **** pick and **** "Why are you so hollow?" pick and **** pick and **** "Do you not like me?" pick and **** pick and **** but, a piece of the shell broke. Satisfied, the man left The broken shell stands in the wind still unsure of what it is A woman in the distance walks up to the broken shell she jabs at the pices "Why are you so lazy?" jab and stomp jab and stomp "All you do is act lazy!" jab and stomp jab and stomp the pressure breaks another piece and satisfied the woman leaves the shell hollow and empty crumbles to dust it gets swept off a mountain as a powder of crust now the shell is no more and all that remained was a beacon of hope that one day the shell won't be empty no more

Shell
The academic prepares he reads and writes and makes his head spin all around pages and sheets full of texts broken down so even a squirrel could understand. He memorises and repeats his family thinks: "He's caught some disease!" But alas, The day of reckoning is here let's see how our academic fears he walks into the room with his teacher following soon They sit and talk not even noticing the exam has begun hours spent of repeating texts and scribes But "Oh whoops this one's wrong!" The teacher sighs and groans telling him to study some more The academic sits there stunned "Maybe Philosophy is my call."

Discouraged academic
First you publish, people clap and cheer. "There's some skill, and a hint of mystique." So go ahead writer, go sit at your desk! Pick up that pen, and let it dance on your page! But as soon as you start, there's a creeping doubt: "Maybe.. this was my peak"

The writer
A cigarette in hand, I sit back in my chair. The sun pours down like a waterfall. A dog ahead, Lies down on it's back - Like a turtle on it's shell He's laying down, Joyous and gay, thinking to himself: "Gosh, what a beautiful day" A breeze flows by to remind us all: that the cold days gone, And all that remains is the waterfall. I recline back, and take a long drag, And I tell myself: "Gosh, what a beautiful day"
