I'm
hurting
,
for
no
good
reason
at
all
.
I'm
dwelling
on
the
past
.
And
trashing
the
present
.
I
want
to
cash
in
the
future
for
the
sort
of
petty
sum
that
will
only
pay
for
the
next
hit
.
I
just
...I
just
...
...
A
strong
feeling
of
hot
rebellion
rises
in
my
chest
.
I
want
to
deny
myself
to
all
who
know
me
.
You
know
this
feeling
...
You
want
to
run
.
But
instead
,
you
choose
to
remain
still
and
fall
apart
in
an
upright, stationary
position
.
My
running
shoes
will
stay
in
their
box
.
...
I'll
close
the
door
,
and
brew
another
pot
of
tea
,
while
I
stare
at
this
indigo
/black
until
fatigue
envelops
me
like
a
velvet
choker,
then
wait
,
for
my
own
thoughts
to
suffocate
in
a
quiet
and
dignified
manner
.
