today i slipped off the treshold of sanity and hit my head on the way down.
i tripped and slipped up on the gravel, my mind cut out by my crown.
trying to grasp i inhale dust, retching the accomplishments i have.
trying to stand up i black out, losing the future i had.

i'll be surprised if anybody reads this. everybody hates reading poetry.

anyway, my house has too many extra bedrooms and when one gets too messy i just move my clothes and pillow to the next. mom finally decided i couldn't just do that anymore, so i spent the day reading old notes, birthday cards (i found $15, thanks papa), and looking through old sketchbooks where i took out my frustration by simply grinding the graphite into the paper.

i found this. at the time, i hated it. i still kind of do. but i guess i just hate it because of what i was feeling at the time. in this odd way this short piece of shit has so much gravity it's odd.

it is to me, at least.
