escape

You think you need escape from this place, you believe you hate it. You don't know where I've been, though. I've been so far gone and back that now I'm grateful I don't live in better places - but better has various, flexible meanings. If you are looking for freedom, good luck finding it outside your own mind. If you are hunting down a beautiful landscape replete with exotic scents and sights, I wish you luck in finding an outcome that's not lonely. Call me wrong, shut me down, but you haven't watched the spiders crawl up the wall like I have. Follow them, tap, tap, patter, splash, and put yourself in their shoes. Don't focus on where you want to be, but where you are now. All you've got to do is make that place worth living in, and voila. You've escaped.

"Why do you talk to everyone so half-ass?" He shook his head impatiently.
"I... I guess I..." she opened and closed her mouth several fish-like times, quickly trying to formulate an answer in her brain before she snuck into her English class.
"Yeah?"
"I just live and put all my energy into my own world."
He sighed, emanating an indiscernible array of emotions in one breath.
"Well some day, do you think you'll ever float on back down to mine?"
She watched as he walked away, tucking his books under his arm and leaving her late for English.

weak

my greatest weakness is that ever since i stopped talking to my old best friend, i've had the uncanny ability to ignore someone, even those close to me, for long, long periods of time.
