eh

2008-05-06T21:51:00.003+10:00

i'm at a very critical condition.
like a car the split second before it crashes.
the moment before you land
and splatter everywhere
that's where i am now

i have extremely low self esteem
i admit
like, about as low as is possible
i may seem to be very upbeat and happy
but never;
i also may seem to not care about anything, like a feather floating in the breeze
nupp
not me
i am falling, not floating
and never landing so i can pick myself back up again
but just screaming on my way down forever

bye
xx
