Claire C. Holland, from I Am Not Your Final Girl: Poems; “Jess”
[Text ID: “I can’t exist in a way that comforts you.”]
“I felt like crying but nothing came out. it was just a sort of sad sickness, sick sad, when you can’t feel any worse. I think you know it. I think everybody knows it now and then. but I think I have known it pretty often, too often.”
― Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness
— Richard Siken, Boot Theory
[text ID: A man takes his sadness and / throws it away / but then he’s still left with his / hands.]
I love substances (ibuprofen, prozac, banana bread, etc)
“I know nothing except that I’m waiting for you and that you never come.”— Dylan Thomas, from a letter to Caitlyn Thomas written c. May 1953
