i cross and uncross my legs and the look of disdain goes from sour to worse and still worse till it feels as though i'm going to implode through my nose and we're on this journey together, or so i tell myself still that i get to sleep at night, so that doesn't keep me up all night, this feeling that a fear i can't escape is something that will with me always... so i summon up worse fates to endure, worse lives to live...but in truth this is the hell i've always tried to escape-- and anger ideas great ensuring self-worth when self-worth is nowhere around, but just look what it does to sleep, look how i'm up like a shot when i need to be dead took the world that i might rise when it's really my and pretend once again i'm alive, look at how there is no journey but this one and how there is no "we," just me--
