Fries With That

I'm too far gone. I'm never going to be able to make it up out of this. "He's crazy", they say, "he's got MENTAL issues." Because I refuse to associate. Refuse to affiliate with anyone.

But when did I become crazy if I isolated since first grade?

My last essay, last poem, and the thrombosis/murder connotation/references. I'm against this wall. My heart hurts. I believe I had a heart attack and part of it is dead.

And I'm looking back on my life and see only me alone; see me alone but at ease thus. What's stopping me from going on Death Row and living like a king until my heart fully blackens?

Because if I get out of prison I'm not going to... it's not going to be good. I'll admit that. I can't trust nobody and I don't feel normal unless I've not spoken to anyone for weeks and my brain is flighty with non-communication. It's like I'm addicted to being sensory deprived. Where will I fit in in society? Could one get paid for sweeping a clean floor three times a day, brushing teeth until they bleed and washing hands a hundred times a day?

I could just picture me working the McDonalds drive through window. Taking two orders then running off to the fridge in the back. Building a cell out of boxes of hamburgers and fries.

Then lying down on my back on a pallet of cardboard chanting "Leave me alone. Leave me..."
