This place is just....

... another place... in my mind,

... a place to find

....out....

what to do with my time,

... and maybe,

just maybe,

find a way out....

of,

this place,

and find a way to survive,

before i have to live another day....

... in this horrible example of the human "race"

...this place...

just a waste of my life..

when i could be out in the world..

making a way for myself,

in this beautiful- gigantic- shining pearl....

maybe in a differant place..

here or there...

just as long as i don't have to stay anywhere...

near...

this...

..place..

for the rest of my life...

i will feel as if i am...

melting away...

into the horrible feeling...

of everlasting demise,

until we lose all ideas of a place...

to feel...

really alive,

and ways to live away from here,

this place

....this nasty, thieving, rotting place

...the place

... that can ruin your life

if....

...you lower your guard..

..for just one moment..

...this place..

i have to get out...

it reminds me of...

a never ending hole in the ground...

....you fall in

..but there is not end..

it never stops no matter how far you fall....

all the way down until you forget what it is to live

away from....

...this place...

it becomes the only place...

THIS PLACE...

this mentality is destroying my mind...

every day i am here i am losing more time...

time to get out..

time to leave..

this never ending pit of horrible thoughts..

this place..

...the one place..

the place that i feel the most safe...

and...

....it scares me...

this place...

i fear..

i will never leave....

this......place

the only place.....

...i am ready to leave..

but

the restrictions of life...

keep me...

from finding...

..my..

way...

..out

of..

THIS....PLACE
