Michael - 23 - New York

I pretend I'm a writer when I'm not pretending I'm a rockstar. Both of these things may or may not take place in front of the bathroom mirror.

You probably have no idea what my posts are about, and that's the way I like it. True art fails to yield to analysis.

Self-indulgent biography, attempt at humor, pseudo-intellectual Nietzsche quote, etc. etc. etc.

Unsteady Velocity or The Way Salt Stings

Personally, I’m fed up with seeing that hand empty. I used to draw your name on the palm of it with my thumb but I don’t think you noticed. I blame cinema.

You don’t have to feel the awful way you do but you’re a sick patient denying the cure. You’re a one in a million case and I don’t feel like sifting through that many medical records. I have the elixir but you’re addicted to the disease.

One of these days I’ll be a few thousand miles away and every clear thought you never had could come crashing through the roof of your indecision. It hurts to think I may not witness the clarity. I keep praying that it happens sooner, but we’ve all seen by now that praying doesn’t work. My knees have scars for miles from paying homage to my own ego. All I want now is compassion.

That, and my sanity.
