    i pity fate
    taking the blame for so much sadness
    while we suffer in our own dramas
    while we search for a reason
    any reason will do
    besides the truth
    we accuse fate
    we curse time
    clean little stories
    in labyrnth detail
    don't make excuses for the truth
    he doesn't love you
    you're not good enough
    and you do know why
    you're not the one
    where is the sadness in that.

    stand naked
    and freely walk around
    you don't do that very much
    the mirror taunts you
    you're hiding from its gaze
    so you don't have to answer to yourself
    it's not pretty
    it's ugly and distasteful
    it's grotesque and unnatural
    it's not very lady like
    it's everything that you have become
    and the more you try to deny it
    the tighter it wraps itself around you
    it feeds on your deceit
    it mates with your self-pity
    it controls you like a dream
    for every hour of consciousness
    and when you get high
    you can start to actually feel it
    the other times you just carry on
    only because now you have no choice
    it pulls on your skin
    it hangs heavy from your bones
    and you age too soon
    silently you waste away
    the things you never had
    but you're the one who chose the anchor
    instead of the sail
    which is why it will never go away.
    which is why you will never have him
    he cannot lay beneath that
    night after night
    he won't want to take you home to his
    beautiful family
    you wouldn't fit
    he is afraid to introduce you to his friends
    because he is ashamed
    it really makes you wonder why he bothers
    with his lies
    it's downright strange that
    he even plays along
    you don't consider that very often
    because it's torture
    you know there's a reason
    but you can't understand
    maybe you need to let go
    really hand him up
    and send him on his way
    you haven't let him get far
    since you tricked him
    if you let go perhaps
    he will fly away
    you must be brave
    you know you must try
    and you can go back to reality
    and maybe pull up the anchor
    and take a good long look in the mirror
    eye to eye with everything that you are
    you won't cry
    you will simply walk up to the top floor
    of the synanon
    and you will leap falling down
    and you will not cry out
    because you died a long long time ago.
