i am sitting here, tearing up, just thinking how utterly i’ve failed at this.
i am so disgusting. i cam feel the fat accumulating between my fingers; pooling and puddling around my ankles. My thighs touch, my belly bloats, and i feel dirty and itchy all over.
i am an ugly lump of lard just sitting there. i feel so large. i’m taking up too much space.
i am so sorely tempted to take a knife and drag it across every inch of me so that i may squeeze out all that clogging, cloying, yellow fat and see for myself just how pathetic of an excuse i am.
i don’t know how to live anymore.
They flank me - Depression on my left, loneliness on my right. They don’t need to show their badges. I know these guys very well.
…then they frisk me. They empty my pockets of any joy I had been carrying there. Depression even confiscates my identity; but he always does that.
