I'm looking outside the classroom window thinking of how i'm going to manipulate this ink into symbols expressing emotions to catch those of others how to annotate pain how to demonstrate euphoria i look outside the window again. i'm trying too hard no aches no delights no inspiration cold-blooded and passionless i wait for ingenuity but it's not coming i can't ******* go on like this i can't look people in the eye and tell them i don't care knowing i'm not lying

Detachment
I'm looking outside the classroom window thinking of how i'm going to manipulate this ink into symbols expressing emotions to catch those of others how to annotate pain how to demonstrate euphoria i look outside the window again. i'm trying too hard no aches no delights no inspiration cold-blooded and passionless i wait for ingenuity but it's not coming i can't ******* go on like this i can't look people in the eye and tell them i don't care knowing i'm not lying
I'd still rather feel everything than nothing. There's no beauty in nothing. But is the risk of getting hurt worth feeling something?
