The Wind: An Anthology

[invalidcomfort]

-‘And the Wind left me’-

Dead, listless

This is how i stand, propped against the wall

arms hanging limply

legs buckled, knees touched

fingers curled at grotesque angles

the slow steady tread of white wispy smoke

rising in this strands off my bald, skinless scalp

I am fully clothed, protecting my gray bones

from the harsh elements of the fire squelched

you can't stop yourself from caring for people that you don't want too. the great thing about emotions is regardless of how well you can hold them back, you can't make them go away. even though you're super smart now, you can not manipulate your heart into not caring for those that don't care for themselves, it doesn't work like that. just stop pitying people.

[invalidcomfort]

Yes I can. It's my choice to care about others, emotions don't control me like they used too, I try my best to not let that happen. They may not go away, but I can deny them foothold in my life. I don't know how many times I have to tell you, I do not pity people. People get themselves into their own shit, then expect you to feel sorry for them. Fuck that.

And im not that smart, I've just matured.. alot.. in the past couple of months.

you're definetly not the boy i used to know, and i can't tell whether or not that bothers me. you used to take my insights and build from that and now you just.. go off on a tangent and try and tell me i'm wrong.

I'm not stressing over anybody, plain and simple. No one but myself.
