10.8a

See? Superfluous a.

I feel it like a sliver of bone that somehow got between my lungs. It moves when I feel sad and digs right into my sternum and the pain flies up to my neck and wraps around my jaw. My hands twitch. My legs lose strength. I collapse.
Sorrow.

  2. I wrote it at 11:30. And I was going to sleep. Superfluous.

  3. Perspective.

    Collapsing is easy, btw.

  4. I know. It's easier than working things out.

  5. Sometimes, you can't work things out, and you collapse anyway.
