I can vs I can't
I can solve a rubik's cube.
I can't unravel the puzzle in my head.
I can checkmate someone in four moves.
I can't protect myself.
I can master any Dungeon, with my trusty d20.
I can't hide from reality.
I can compute complex mathematical functions.
I can't answer why.
I can type 80 words a minute.
I can't get three out of my head.
I can read 300.
I can't stop thinking "I'm not worthwhile."
I can repair an Xbox 360.
I can't be fixed.
I can run a mile in under six minutes.
I can't get away from my own mind.
I can recite lyrics from hundreds of songs, without the accompaniment.
I can't escape.
I can diffuse a difficult situation via mediation.
I can't stop the onslaught from between my ears.
I can greatly influence others with sound logic, rhetoric, reasoning.
I can't bury my internal conflict.
I can dunk a basketball.
I can't slam my troubles away.
I can qualify for Honors programs.
I can't keep up with the burden.
I can get recruited to play Division II college sports.
I can't emotionally handle the lifestyle change.
I can bowl a 230.
I can't clean every proverbial frame.
I can "wow" people with my athleticism, skills, abilities.
I can't accept what I do as ever being "good enough".
I can outwork my opponent.
I can't go back to where I'm from, I have to get out.
I can feign happiness, joy.
I can't bring myself to feel the real deal, no matter how much I want to.
I can function.
I can't survive...not like this.
I can take away other's pain.
I can't stop my own.
