Today I woke up late, too late, so that the rest of the day barely lasted me until the sun went down again. I took a break from it all, despite not having enough time, not enough hours on the day, not enough life, but for what purpose, I do not know. I wonder if I ever will.

Today I escaped, escaped again, the reality I could no longer live in without starting to crack. And I thought to myself; next time, I will not run away, next time I will suck it all up and just take it, next time I will have changed, but into what, I do not know. Maybe a tin man would suffice.

Today I tasted blood, my blood, from a newly opened wound that I knew would never heal correctly. It was too salty and too bitter and too derived, but of what, I do not know. Yet it was somehow lacking in depth.
