if i am a dead language then you are fluent, and if mandarin is the hardest form of discourse then you learned me as a back-up--
I have always been a tangle a mess of overreactions and sentimentalities, too proud to call for help or be pulled from the rough convinced that if it must be done at all it must be done by sheer willpower and iso l at ion
i am trying to unlearn that i do not have to be alone but it's in the company you choose that some mistakes are too deep and coiled to come back from
if i am dead language then i am old norse, a handful of runes and sounds falling off the tongues of no one special just scholars and politicians struggling to make sense but not all too concerned in the first place.
