  • I ought to tell the truth.  I ought not lie.  Usually I do until...... I want to die.


    There is no reason to explain the pain that I feel.  It cuts so deep and nothing and forever is the only thing that's real. 


    Can you feel it plain?  If not, I'll try to explain, but remember....I don't care anymore and I can't remember when I did.


    Take your medication and wait for the cure.


    I've tried.


    I watched a deer die today.  I knew it would happen, it always does, but I never had to see it.  Usually women folk go away and pretend it isn't true.  


    But not today. 


    I saw the BUCK so free, so scared, running, now dead.  Shot down in his prime.  Gutted.  A piece of meat we don't even need.  There are no hungry mouths here to feed.  But his rack, this manlihood, yes, that cost him his life, and I am eternally sad because I saw the breath that killed him dead and I no longer have a clue.


    Tears do not matter.  Affection is a sham, but my heart hurts in places it's never been and I don't understand, why the striving to stay alive must die and the wishing to be dead survive.


    I will always cry.  Why don't I die? 


    I gave it thought.  I watched blood ooze from my clumsy ways and imagined brighter days, but when the cut comes it's sharp and I haven't the heart.


    I don't know where to BE.


    I'm going to take the pills and hope it goes away, but for today and for many dots in between......I'm just sad.

What?

I AM still paranoid,
though reasons changed.
I'm paranoid that they'll figure out the language
and patterns of
me,
and I'll forget to rea
r r
ange.

Then I'll just be textbook.
