if you walked a thousand miles in my shoes you still would not have any room judge me where'd that idea come from, anyway? that because you see what I see and walk where I walk you have the power and knowledge to write a book of every mistake I've ever made and set it right outside of the gates of heaven so that when my time comes I know it was your words that left me dead? people are not god's you grew up reading mythology, watching the half-human Hercules build a wall on top of his shoulders and carrying it even throughout his most human times I grew up reading poetry, memorizing the beauty of metaphors to the point where I decided that when I grew up I would become one and everything I do would be one no wonder we have such different outlooks on life. if someone put a knife through your back, you would die you are not immortal because people are not gods so why allow them to do what they do? I told myself you would never make me sick again, ever let me have a 105 degree fever and a pain in my shoulder before I ever get nauseous remembering what happened what was said or what we both did, but when I went to the doctor and begged him to cure me he just filled his syringe up with a photographic memory and inserted it directly into my veins whispering people are not god's people are not god's if you want to became the hands on a clock learn to add and subtract and memorize when the sun rises and sets if you are dead set on becoming something no one can touch without crumbling to a pile of dust breathe deep and walk tall move as if your spine is made of words that were said in such a fragile time that if you distribute your weight improperly the tightrope will break act as if it is never a fragile time even though it is 99% of the time, but say it's not say it's all just fine until your mind is snickering because it has convinced the rest of your body it's able to keep running people are not gods, people are not gods people are just people and that's all they'll ever be a mere five and a half feet, unless you allow them to put on stilts and start walking around in your head
