all my life I’ve been taught to endure
that was my bragging right
how little I could survive on
needing less
now the storm has died down
and I’m wondering why my life hasn’t amounted
to more
a martyrdom no one prayed for
willing to
suffer
scream
rot
if only it could help
but it wouldn’t
so i’m not
maybe if I listen to this Guns N’ Roses song again I’ll figure it out
chekov’s gun is in pandora’s box with shrödinger’s cat
