if you ve been kicked in or abused or mistreated or misused you were told there is nowhere to go but up for you if you ve been hurt or you ve been betrayed or you ve been fucked or you ve been displaced you were told it was probably your fault anyway but when your hustler subscription and your xanax prescriptions make you feel lonelier instead you don t want to hear about all those starving children you don t want to be told it s all in your head cause if it s all in your head that s terrible i saw a junkie lying in a puddle of his own blood last week i saw a cyclist get hit by a car i saw a homeless guy chug a bottle of mouthwash on christmas eve no you can never fall too far you can buy a salad glove you can buy an ipod and you can sell that shit to bookmans when your wife dies and you lose your job you can hope it gets better you can follow your dreams but hope is for presidents and dreams are for people who are sleeping my friend aaron says it best we re all two or three bad decisions away from becoming the ones that we fear and pity and toni says it s important to bear some witness when you can and that s not hard to do in the city that i live in you don t have it any better you don t have it any worse you re an irreplaceable human soul with your own understanding of what it means to suffer and that s a huge bummer3
