When to begin when you see the end

When to rescind but definitely not defend.

When to go when you know it might grow.

How to feel when you cant feel.

How to breathe when you're out of breath.

How to act when you're not acting.

What to say when you don't have words.

What to do when you can't do anything.

What to say when you're...

"You're!!!"

"I was gonna finish I promise."

"Stop lying."

"Well..."

You're not yourself.

"Sums it up!!!"

"Stfu!"

"Anyway."

What to say when you're not yourself.

"You're fighting who though?"

"Them."

"Um. Okay."

"Thank you."

"For?"

"Not pressing the issue..."

"So there is an issue?"

"Can you Not?"

"Yea Fuck no!"

"I'm a Breezy fan." (5:oomin)

"Stop changing the subject."

"Well um."

Going or coming?

Going.

Where?

Back, please.

But.
