Thoughts

^{"You cut off your toes so you might walk a little more slowly,
you cut out your tongue so you wouldn't say anything wrong"}

^{You're staring out of a window.
Everyone outside seems to be going about their lives effortlessly and artfully.
What if you step outside and everybody stares,
what if you step outside and everybody laughs?
What if you step outside and nobody notices?
You know you can't hold off forever,
but it's a long way to the door,
and you've finally realized that
no one is coming in to save you.}
