| your twisted mind
is like snow on the road |

tyler takes his medication as soon as he wakes up.

it's disgusting and bitter and doesn't help with anything but his parents watch him like hawks- on this day in particular, for some unknown reason- so he reluctantly lets it slide down his throat. sometimes he's able to hide it under his tongue until he can spit it out, but not today.

today the pills go down like sandpaper scraping his throat. today the world is out to get him. today tyler hears his mother crying in her bedroom down the hallway. today the rain clinks against his windowpane insistently and makes him want to tear his ears off. today josh doesn't come over.

today is a good day for staying in bed.
