The Burdens of Being Upright

Oct 6, 2003

i'm a man of contradiction

there was comfort in the mysterious lining. thinking there was something more. thinking i had it figured out. there was hope in thinking something was beautiful. i cant write. i cant write. i cant write. is this one of those reassesments? values readjusted. loose construction so i can bend with the wind? everybody is the same as before. and everyone will let you down. and everyone will lift you up. and this procrastination and idealization will only set you up for disappointment. but not even the disappointment that comes from a great high. its the disappointment that comes from never even letting yourself experience anything and being stuck in the same low as always. and no this isnt an ad for booze. and no i'm not lonely or depressed. and suddenly i wish i wasnt so public.
