—YEAH, I KNOW IT’S STUPID
…I don’t want to be afraid, but I very much own up
to the fact that I am a misfit.
…Sometimes nothing’s good enough, or right enough,
or smart enough, or doesn’t seem to be, so those are your answers, however
broken.
…Other times it’s just WTF?
…I hope there’s a different pill for this.
…I’m definitely winning Ugliest Man of the Year
right now. Hands down.
…Lord restore
unto me the joy of thy salvation.
…I see it.
Just can’t reach it.
…Fire has always been a pretty well-worn metaphor. I know it has for me.
…What if it was really simple?
…I don’t need
you to fix what I’d rather forget.
…--85% of the things you worry about never happen.
…--But what about the 15%?
…God either gets too much credit, or not enough, and
therein lies the predicament.
…A person at peace is hard to miss.
…Sometimes it’s wise to remember that things are not
always as they seem.
…What do you think it means when you have some great
triumph, when you’ve achieved something you’ve wanted for a long time, then you’re
joyful for, like a day, or a minute, then the dark flood comes without warning
or apology?
…Amy was right.
You can’t ever have enough Donny Hathaway.
…Every wave at
your name.
…Sing a little louder, please.
…Yes, please.
…“I wish you’d
make up your bed so I could make up my mind.”
…I wonder what it would be
like to sit half a dozen sad people in the same room. Maybe we’d all get our stuff sorted out.
…I don’t know if you can see
it, but we’re upside down.
…I tell myself the struggle
is part of it.
…“You know, back when
everyone had fists on you? Maybe that
wasn’t all bad.”
…Just help me explain this,
please.
…Sometimes all I wanted was
the screams to stop, the blood to stop.
But what child wouldn’t?
…The difference between
empathy and sensitivity is pretty difficult to prove.
…Sure, sure. Whatever you say.
…Somebody has to be
punished. Might as well be me. Just look at my skinny wrists.
…The truth is, I loved
everything about it.
…Before the sun even showed
up this morning, I already watched Bud swim the lake, and Pete fly by twice. Those should be good signs, if one believed
in those kinds of things.
…Out of everyone in the
world, you’re the one I wanted to tell.
…Words matter. I’ve been thinking about that a lot
lately. I’ve been spending time with it.
…Maybe it’ll get easier. I hope so.
…I’m just laying here,
coughing up gluey leaves. How’re you
doing?
…One pill, two pills, eight. There you go.
Good night.
