How long should I sit here and pretend that I haven't wanted to end it for 17 years? How long should I say 'I'm good' when I was just crying the bathroom ten minutes ago? How long should I stare in the mirror and say 'Maybe I'll cut my hair tomorrow' knowing deep down I won't go for the next six months. How long should I avoid the inevitable? How long is too long? How long can I look at this world, this society, and think that this is the type of world I want to live in?
