Survivor is worse

And I’ve finally figured out

The worst thing to be in this world is a survivor

Because you must remain surrounded

By people cosplaying your pain

While claiming you’re playing victim…

It is exhausting, yet the very fact you survive means you are never blessed

With being exhausted

About the Creator

Dan-O Vizzini

Has anyone else just been making it up as they go along? Have you gotten so far from where you started that finding your way back seems impossible?

Well— reach.

Power when exercised properly is a beautiful thing.
