in a thunderous cavern, near a black hole
this is where you get noticed. this is where I will go.
I don't ask for favors. I do things on my own.
I push over who I need to. I hustle.
dog eat dog. alone.
dog doesn't eat dog that I know of. it's not a natural code.
wolves hunt in packs, but they're animals. I got it alone.
this is a place of belonging
so bring your personality
we'll laugh at all your jokes
if we know you're joking
you can leave whenever you want
you're here with us
in a mutual trust
with the comfort that comes from knowing
that you're never alone
with us
don't you want a real family?
don't you want some real friends?
check out the list of activities we have planned
feeling misunderstood?
feeling like you don't fit in?
we can fix it. we're meticulous.
all these cliches used to be insights to me.
but I'll pretend it's not a stifling orthodoxy
because the more you get to know me, the less you'll like me
it was a such a relief to let my mind blow away
to atrophy, like sand in the breeze
because the more you get to know me, the less you'll like me
my inner life has always been embarrassing
I learned how to confess impeccably without revealing anything
but making the correct scene, consistently
because the more you get to know me, the less you'll like me
