Ok. Last entry today. I think.
I am such a failure.
Everything I was going to be.
Not.
I am nothing, really.
I fake it. I pretend. I lie. I insist.
But none of it is true. I am nothing. Really nothing.
I used to be on a path.
Not now.
I meander.
I pretend I can still see the way.
Through brush and scraggle and splinters and spiny thorns and hay fever.
But the path is gone.
I fear I strayed from it so far back and so long ago that I wouldn't even recognize it if I somehow drifted back across it's dusty clearing.
I am tired.
No, really. Really sleepy.
I cannot face going out into the world anymore. I force myself. But there is no anticipation, no joy, no enjoy.
And I cannot stop singing stupid songs.
Today it has been:
"Beep Beep" (The Playmates 1958 - I never even heard it first run) please please save me this one plays ALL THE TIME.
"Come Saturday Morning" (The Sandpipers 1970 - from The Sterile Cuckoo and Liza was just a kid and I'm younger than she is) You see there are no patterns.
"I'm a Little Bit Country" (Donny & Marie Osmond 1970-something) is a comment really necessary for this one?
