What's keeping me tossing at night? lately I've been thinking about that rope - thinking about lynching my thoughts on the same tree that we got this knowledge from. And they say that the apple didn't fall far from the tree - Well, I ate mine rotten, and its seed sprouts depressing thoughts, like - "I wish I wasn't born" or "I was cushioned in the womb, only to find out that being born is a nightmare" Still trapped inside my dad's body - but I wake up everyday hoping for a transition.
