Does it hurt?
I think it does.
Lying to yourself about the realities of your "new" life.
The failure looming in the back of your mind.
You know where it goes.
You know how it works.
You know what'll happen.
Yet you still chose.
How much have you had to drink?
Are you lying?
The stumbling in every direction only makes it worse.
You coulda grabbed that hand and walked forwards towards a better place.
But you're walking backwards while saying you moved forward.
A damn lie.
