i dont know how
fuzzy doodle clouds above my head
scrambled thoughts
a roller coaster for the brain
what is bothering you today?
this couch isnt comfortable
just start with the first thing that comes to mind
these association games dont work you know
how about just -- how are you feeling?
is this a joke?
a rhetorical question?
you must suspect the answer
and your suspicions are right, otherwise i wouldnt be here
right?
what is bothering you today?
about a million things
can you tell me one?
i cant even admit them to myself, let alone to you
my breath is the only accurate display of needs my body will give
my lungs are aching for air but my mind isnt so bold
to tell its desires to you so clearly
just one thing thats bothering you?
this isnt working
this sounds like avoidance
avoidance?
how can i avoid something i dont even recognize
how can i avoid something that i dont acknowledge
the only evidence that it exists is the tears and the self deprecation
but that could be anything
right?
i think its time we talk.
but you still dont get it
i dont know how.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
