self-portrait (or, an autobiography in as many words as it takes to give the wrong impression)

for you to read this: there had to have been someone to write it. someone with their eyes closed, head back, waiting for the words to come. those words aren't for free. the cost is their sanity, their livelihood, their mind, their soul- whatever broken beaten down part of them is left. head down, wake up with eyes heavy and lungs drowning in words. these words that get caught inside their chest, worming their way between their bones and into every crack. it's a damn sight to clean up. broken bottles on the floor, painted pages and dreams out the windows with a list of "what did you take this time" that made you think you could fly? there's always someone waiting, someone behind the words, desperate, waiting, watching to see what piece of their soul gets taken next. there is only so much to give.
