Paint me in new colors. I am tired of my usual half-attempts at dragging this out. Why do my hands feel so heavy? Lead numbness dragging hours into days I try to scraps off my old moldings but I'm stuck in this feedback loop of what will break me slowly because I want to be here, but at the same time I don't. Ambivalence kills. It seeds itself under my skin and I can't tear it out. Ambivalence will be the death of me.
