so why has my life unfolded this way? because this is who I am, and it’s what I deserve. the filth, the bleakness, this overwhelming agoraphobia. it’s not real, it’s just an echo of what is inside me. there is only a desert, a fantasy. I could make anything I wanted, but it’s results are betrayed by it’s purpose; that it’s only there to hide the fact that something is not. with this awareness, I just don’t enjoy anything anymore, I’d be kidding myself, and even if I bothered, the secrets would still be around, waiting to be found out. I hate being like this. so I stopped, it lasts for a little while, but then the thoughts creep in, “I’m still the same, I’m just running from it. “I don’t get to be happy, I don’t get to be a good person, I’m just holding off the inevitable. but even when I give in, it never seems to transcend. fate doesn’t want a willing victim, it wants me to fight, because otherwise, I wouldn’t be losing the battle. and that’s what I’m meant to do, regardless of how I feel about it. I can *n’t make myself better, I’d just recreate the same circumstances that brought me here. I can *n’t accept what I have, because it just fools others into thing I wanted this, and I will only receive more of the same.
