i fear i have nothing to give
i keep myself busy. oddly enough. the new job. moving swiftly from work to errands to visits to bed. but when i have a silent night to myself, it all breaks down. i really have not dealt with things at all. i have pushed it all down, denied its very presence until it starts leaking out into my life. the things i could handle with aplomb before - the things i thrived at - now seem too much for me. i can't handle the new job. i can barely bear to listen to inane 8th grade students babbling on about their sexual escapades and hoodlum friends. i want to scream at them about the fragility of life, yet i am my own biggest hypocrite, plodding on as if nothing has happened, as if i'm not on the same exact path. i have made no monumental changes. i have not altered my life. |
