The weatherman said it was going to rain but he didn’t mention when it would let up. It’s been raining for years. I keep telling myself I’m not allowed to be this downpour, this unhappy all the time. It doesn’t help. I don’t want to be brave today. I don’t want to do the work today. I don’t want to do the work today. I don’t want to do the work today. I don't want to. The only thing worth living for is the sunset. I’m letting things pile up instead of taking care of them. I want to see how high I can get. This is the terrible precipice I’ve been peering over. Everyone/ no one is worried for me. If I fall on them, I will be so heavy. And what is it if it isn’t everyone you take with you on the way down? I thought I would fall right into the sunshine. I thought I’d be covered in it. Oh my god I can’t die yet, my room isn’t clean. Look, I brushed my hair. I got dressed. See, I'm better now. See?
