this self-loathing is too much for me to bare. i mean i bare everything: the actions, the words, the snickers with an inflamed chest. and the struggle cannot be conquered; i am no soldier, no fighter - subhuman. i struggle for a sense of purpose like an infected toilet brush or maybe a half-chewed pencil eraser. quality beats quantity but i cannot quantify how many tears i have shed or the glass-stained memories that leave ****** scratches on mind. all along there was no end to this journey, but shattered dreams paint a more vivid picture than happiness ever could.
