Thirst of a beast,
Attention of a mob.
Clouds of the mind,
Weeze of the breath.

I thought I could always be infallible. That nothing could bring me down and stop me, pull me back or hold me down. I was wrong. Nothing was working, none of my practices and determinations. My willpower was failing, and I always though it unstoppable.

The rut I was in, cannot be achieved by anyone else. The darkness, the cold, the headache. It was like being in the chamber again, the mask removed and lungs on fire. No where to go, unable to see. Hearing those around you cough, weeze, choke, and vomit. The air was so thin but full. I couldn't breathe.

And then it started to settle and slow. Everything fell back into place. My will power could resume its dominance. My mind was getting at ease. The mob was silenced. The beast was quenched.

It's frightening to not know thyself.

And yet.. Sometimes I want something different. I want to go back in time. I want to rewrite aspects of my life. Lead it in a different direction. I just want to tell myself, 'Fuck you'. Is that so wrong? To call yourself a fake, a liar, a fraud? Someone s...

Defeatist.

I don't like my friends, most of them anyway. I don't like my government, nor do I like the way I'm expected to be. Am I having another anti-social session? Am I losing that barrier, that shield, that tie that keeps me in place? Am I going to finally snap and unleash upon everything? Nah, too bothersome. But why am I so damned stubborn? So determined? So resiliant of the repetition that continues? I hate it, I dislike it, I favor something different. I let the changes that occur naturally float by, without standing by any of them with interest.
