so anyway by Nanette Bellman
i'm not going to lie,
the thought of killing myself
has been floating around my head lately.
not anything too over the top,
with razor blades or ingestion of poison.
maybe playing in traffic or something else.
it's just that no matter what i do,
what decision i make, i'm going to hurt.
because i'm caught in a lose-lose situation
and the best way to rid the pain
is to get rid of it
and there's only one way i know how
to do that.
so anyway,
does my ass look fat in these jeans?

Posted by Kris Mara on 05/14/09 at 08:40 PM been there, asked that! ...and I'm here to tell you, "no, no it doesn't" :)
...it's interesting how you're divulging the pain in the rest of the piece, then "neverminding" it with the "so anyway" -- and isn't that completely how we transmit sometimes... |
Posted by Alison McKenzie on 05/15/09 at 09:50 PM My daughter asked me that, and my brain heard, "Does my ___ look fat in these genes?" LOL!!! And I said, "hey, give me back my genes. I want to fit into them again!!!" So, anyway.....hehehe |
Posted by Alison McKenzie on 05/15/09 at 09:51 PM Seriously though, there are remedies that beat out the big "S" for a way out. I promise. |
