I’m sitting opposite myself, wondering when I’ll be okay. I’m thinking never at this rate, but who the fuck even cares anymore? Isn’t it always the same? Aren’t I always dissatisfied? Aren’t I always fucked up? I don’t even care anymore; how am I supposed to hope or believe that other people do?
I don’t even care, and that pisses me off.
But I don’t know what to do with my anger. I don’t know what to say about it or even why it’s happening.
I can’t hear myself in my own head anymore. My writing voice is gone. I’m searching my old journals for it, but I’m blocked. I’m mute. I am mute. How do I begin to say anything? How do I begin to channel a voice I can no longer remember?
I can’t accept it. That’s a more precise phrasing. My voice is in here with me, but I’m judging it so harshly…
I’m afraid I don’t know what to say. I want to scream at the top of my lungs until I collapse unconscious. I want lively experiences I’ll never have, living the way I’ve been since graduation.
So, what needs to change now?! What do I need to do to be happy? Because college wasn’t it.
