"I draw a hot sorrow bath
in my despair room
with a misery candle burning
i wash my hair with regret shampoo
after cleaning myself with pain soap
i dry myself with my gorgeous white
one hundred percent and it will never change towel
then smooth on my i don’t deserve lotion
and i hate myself face cream
then i put on my alone again silk pyjamas
and go to sleep
when the hue has gone blue
and you can’t quite grin and bear it
let this word picture remind you
it can always be worse

I can just picture you giving a TED talk, pacing the stage in one of those fucking headphone getups, starting each sentence with the word "so," thinking it makes you less of an asshole.
Your unabashed self-confidence leads me to question your intelligence.
The future hasn’t aged well.
From the instant you vow never to forget, it begins to slip away.
