I have no one to confide with.

I know nobody cares.

yet chained I am to those around me,

my neighbors.

when the world bitch slaps me,

throws me for a loop,

pushes me down under the wave,

I just drown for a couple of days.
Not bothering anyone to throw me a pretend life-preserve.
Eventually I can lift my head above waters.

put on my face and pray to god nobody asks me to talk about it.

how embarrassing to talk about something that has retched me,
to someone who is probably just thinking about donuts.
I can't even blame them.
