Potential cover idea
A little side project I’m working on.
downstairs | ‘From 196’
It was cold and raining; we were miles away from home.
An old friend of mine told me that I was like glue.
But even if that’s true, glue doesn’t hold if it’s not there in the first place.
I’m sick of watching my family fall apart.
I spend my nights drinking alone in my room wishing that I could hear something other than my own thoughts.
I think having someone around distracts me from showing my true colors.
I like it better that way.
Nothing comes from the heart anymore.
I haven’t written in months.
I haven’t read in weeks.
There’s an absence, and it’s intimidating.
But as sure as the sun rises, that familiar feeling hits the pit of my stomach.
And I’m right back where I started.
I think I hate myself more than I ever have before.
Parts of me feel like I gave up on everything.
The others are just walking in place.
Routines that work leave me alone with my thoughts and let my mind take me down.
I don’t want to be here again.
But Bill Gates says the real world doesn’t give a fuck about my self-esteem.
He’s probably right.
