the burden

sometimes you just Don’t want to think of it anymore, —you know? but it keeps comin’, like you’re in an ocean or a toilet or any sort of place where you can do nothin’ but drown. and it’s the same for all of us whether we’re drowin’ or burnin’, freezn’, or bein’ crushed… —it’s the same ya see? and it keeps comin’ even when we don’t want to think about it. so just let it come… like a stinging wave, or a sunburn, pin pricks or pressure… and let it go. Because that’s how it is, sometimes, for all of us.
