I
still
couldn't
quite
tell
if
I
was
getting
visited
by
an
angel
or
if
an
angel
was
getting
their
space
invaded
by
me

this
comes
from
a
different
set
of
notes

one
big
running
list

(
I
probably
won't
pull
from
this
source
very
often
but
I'll
refer
to
it
as
the_low_new
because
that's
the
name
that
has
stuck
and
when
a
name
sticks
you
can
try
to
change
it
but
you're
only
lying
to
yourself
)
I
don't
mean
to
be
so
unsympathetic
It's
just
that
I'm
FUCKING
UNSYMPATHETIC
I'm
not
your
preacher
not
your
maid
not
your
medic
I'm
not
your
guardian
angel
not
your
prosthetic
Not
your
painkillers
antiseptic
or
anesthetic
Not
your
prophet
not
your
reaper
not
your
sower
I'm
a
skeptic
Reviewing
over
all
my
calculations
Ignoring
every
public demonstration
Ignoring
the
broken
logic
from
hypochondriac
nation
Answering
my
own
questions
and
keeping
my
patience

if_you_were
an
angel_on_my_shoulder,
or
a
devil
,
you'd
know
that
this
is
how
I
spend
a
great
deal
of
my
time
just
blemishing
in
the
violence
