Stilts
August 31, 1998
I wish life just could get
automatically easier
There should be
more money, and if people would work,
I’d wish for more people
and come up with their own conclusions
and the world would just be easier
if everyone automatically just got what
they wanted and needed.
Wouldn’t it just be easier if
people always got tickets and lost
money and got screwed
That would
make life so much simpler, if some
people were just automatically punished
and some people just never got
punished
If I knew how many classes I
had today, if I knew how much
hell I’d be forced to go through
today, maybe then I’d be less
irritable.
Is this as good as it gets
does the usual pain
seldom end
I want to be
mean here but I have to be nice
and I have three more hours
and life still sucks
and I have four to five minutes
of time off before the new and
improved hell starts
I don’t
know how the average person
deals with this lack of
patience with a lack of any
answers for hours a day
every day
Is this what
my life is supposed to be like
Is this the best of my news
Does anything in life ever get
any better than the pain I
usually feel
They who
don’t know how to teach you
anything
made typed versions of
the schedule for the day for
everyone, including myself,
and I had a long day today
with long hours, like every other
day last week
No one has a
happy ending for anyone here.
I mean, people who were in
accidents and are in
wheelchairs 5 or 6 years after
their accident can’t
feed themselves or talk to anyone or
even smile
Everything is still the same
I was
given a confusing test that had to do
with my lack of reading or vision.
So then I talked about my problems
and I’m sure it got me nowhere
I should have learned my lesson
years ago
Nothing ever gets
better in my life
I should
just know that it will never change
Does that mean I should just face
it
I guess it doesn’t matter
Welcome to my life.
I’m getting tired of seeing people
here walking on stilts
