“Here I am still dragging my feet, grasping for something that’s worthwhile in me. I’m searching for the words with which to speak, nothing comes to mind but the failures I breed.
Lately I find the only direction in my life lies beneath the cracks in the pavement of the parking lots I circle at night. Do we all grow older just to let go of everything that we’ve kept inside for so long? Now I’m afraid to close my eyes at night for fear that I’ll be locked inside of my mind. I turned my eyes to the sky. The stars don’t reflect their light. In this darkness I know that I’m not alive.
This is me tying knots in loose ends. This is me giving up and giving in. I’ll watch the sunset alone tonight. I’ll watch the sun set alone tonight.
I can’t do this on my own. I can’t do this alone.”
