It's ever so subtle
The way it dances so eloquently past you
With much more prominent things to worry about

You are so minuscule
Wandering aimlessly without poise to your steps
Uncertainly presuming which trail to roam

I'm stuck between a loaded gun to my head and the overwhelming feeling of disappointment.

I still can't decide which would be most horrifying to face

Dad
I can't shake this overwhelming drowning sensation whenever we speak
I guess it could make sense, since you never taught me how to swim.

Gasping for breaths and thrashing for support, I taught myself as well as I could how to keep above the unforgiving pungency without the comfort of a stable hand.

I've swallowed countless bitter gulps, struggling through each moment on my own. Teaching myself the things you were never very good at.

I am not a strong swimmer.

It always ***** with me the way people blatantly mislead
If there was a way to make humanity sincere in every aspect, the world would ******* implode
You see lies and deceit in every inch of the world

How many pounds will you lose from that new weightloss supplement?

30!

they forgot boldly mention the measly stomach cancer side effect that commonly occurs

**at least they made some money

Where is solitude
Is it on my bathroom floor?
Without any pulse

It really is quite a feeling
I'm a black hole
and I can't stop hoping
That one of these days will be what I expected

It really is quite a sensation
I'm scared shitless
Merely at the thought of living

It really is pitiful
How much hope I have
For a future that brings nothing

I like to pretend that I overeat when I eat 1/4 cup of scrambled eggs 2 pieces of sausage and a croissant.
I like to pretend that every time I skip a meal everyone notices how much weight I've lost.
I like to pretend that when I eat 5 pretzels that it counts as dinner.
I like to pretend that in a month I will be pretty.
I like to pretend that I don't have a problem.
I like to pretend that it's okay.
But it isn't
But they don't
But it doesn't
But I won't
But I do
But I'm not
