If I hold my hand out to you,
   will you take it?

If I walk with you at my back,
   will you follow me?

If I close my eyes to sleep at night,
   will I still see you next to me in the morning?

Dog
I wish that I was a dog.
I would do anything to be a dog.
A bird or a cat,
but most especially a dog.
Get fed.
Go sleep.
Good dog.
Have some ******* fun.
Good dog.
Get fed.
Nothing more.
Can always do it.
I wish that I was a dog.

Hi.
Hello.
You've been here a while now.
I like it here.

I think it may be time for you to go.
I like it here.

You see,
   I know you like it here
   and you see
   you're always going to be welcome here
   but you see
   it's time for you to go.

You don't see.
       You don't see that you can't kick me out.
       You don't see that you don't quite have a choice.
I do.
   This is my house.
But where's all your stuff?
I don't... I don't... Where's all my stuff?
I didn't think you needed it while I'm here
        so I took the liberty of getting rid of it for you.
        You see,
        you have me and that's all I really need right now.

Well you see,
       it's really time for you to leave now.
       I kind of,
       well,
       I kind of miss my stuff.
Nah, you really don't need it.
       Just you and me against the world.
The door is right there.
        Please leave.
Ah, but you see,
        I've locked the door and taken the key.

Guilt is like drowning in molasses.
Dragging you down slowly but surely.
Trying to get yourself unstuck is sticky business in itself.

Yasin
My silence is louder than my screams.
Fear of being ignored again, so I remain silent while there's a clamorous riot in my head.

There is somebody who I want you to meet.
Someone.
Someone deep down
From years ago.
I know she is there.
Take her out.
Scratch off the layers of skin,
Of flesh and bone.
I hope you find her.

Scream.
Scream and yell and shout
Until your lungs give out.
Until she has to come out.
She must come back and meet your screams.

You’ll meet her,
One day. I promise.
Because she loves you.
I just know it.
