I’m mad. This **** is so unfair. Sometimes you think a day will be good, the opposite happens, as if the universe made a mistake and misheard me maybe. All I said was today’s gonna be a good day, geez. And then I find my works piling till my sheets, my tire pressures free falling, because the truck I was driving behind decided to drop a rock, and like my life was Mario Kart, the rock tore through my tire. I’m tired of waiting for this roadside assistance to get here. I constantly live in fear for the worst, and hope it happens when I expect it the most. Alas, it never does. The guy arrives and leaves, and I’m doing just fine, yet the feeling of a bad day leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and your emotions sing to the tune of your ego all day. Because you feel just because you had a bad day it means you can be an ******* to anyone you meet. Is this some kind of a power fantasy I repeat and I failed to recognize it? I had to calm myself down because it got me too amped up. I almost let the demons drive. Geez, it’s only an inconvenience right. And I wonder, why do emergencies happen only when you’re expecting to finally relax tonight?

When the Demons Grab the Wheel
She's me chat that back her stack as eyes gleam and conglomerate of ceramic taste that steal the heart away for cause of now that mayn't bring her down to this gloomy bile of pancakes grief

Allysa's Place
I see people looking at me when I’m not yelling at them. I see people running away from me when I’m pelting stones at broken cars. I’m walking alone with barking dogs. I see crying kids when I smile at them. I see hand prints all over my body for eating fruits. I see my black eye in a mirror, all for just asking food. I hear screaming horns, when I’m just crossing the road. I hear shoutings, when I’m just trying to sleep in the park. All that I do is what I do. All that I take is what I never asked for. I see no difference between you and me. Is it because you are yourself, and I am me?

out on twelfth
Uno mas, or "one more." One more stop until we're home or close enough to call it so. One more stop until we're close enough to driving our car and picking up *** roadside. To grabbing a coffee to restart the night. To talking 'till that predawn light that reminds us why we fell in love the first time. Uno mas.
