the 1, 4, 5 progression

By shortandpretentious

the comedic catastrophe is
she’s constructed a
castle comprised of
counterfeit compassion
casually causing casualties


im convinced
she can’t operate
without hurting someone
I can’t function
without first making sure that she’s watching
I don’t even know what it is

like inspiration
not that she inspires me
but that I only have her at certain times
(although I look for her everywhere)

    Have to agree with ol' Solace below...I too am enthralled by your refreshingly unique style. I think we've all known someone like the girl you describe, a girl who allows herself to be a crutch but yet does more damage than good. Fan-bloomin'-tastic!
