"Birds make great sky-circles
of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall, and falling,
they are given wings."

Struggle

Do you know reader how many times I have ended up here on the floor, trapped in my body?
Do you know how desperately I try to keep going?
There are some nights I don't have the strength.
I want to talk, but this is all I know how to do. This, and pushing people away.

I wanted to drive far away today. To find where the road ends. But I've already tried that.
Did you know it just goes on and on and on?

pain, pain go away.
I need to be able to sit through my classes.
