a few of my more recent ramblings
no way out
no way out trapped stuck inside my head i can run, but i can't hide no way out no wonder they wont stop if my mind's off anyway my private tangent the most miserable of rollercoasters no way out why can't i just shut up? why can't i just switch off? why can't i just get out? release, alas no way out.
blind alley
faltering along
step by step
should know the way by now
should have learned to trust the guide
but waiting again to fall
when she
pulls the rug from under me

escapology
clean or foul? blunt or sharp? up or down? left or right? who cares? they all open the door as the pain floods in the pain is washed out the explosive suffocation gone for the blissfull instant pain is cured by pain the future? continual agony
therapy?
a problem shared is a problem halved
"talk about it"
they don't understand
how every word
is a twist of the knife
push the knife harder
dig a little deeper
slice a little further
bleed a little longer
in the garden
it's much less work
to pour on new soil
than pull up the roots of the weeds
why does no one understand this
grow a new skin
repair the scars
seal the wound over
problem solved
