Anywhere Else?

I am


One


With


My


Phone


And all of the entertainment


That’s on it


And I cannot seem to separate myself from it


But


If I am being honest


I haven’t tried that hard to do that.





I am


One


With


My


Bed


And all of the comfort


That comes with it


And


I cannot seem to get myself out of it


But


If I am being honest


I haven’t tried that hard.




I am


What I eat


I know this


But


I cannot seem


To stop eating


Shit food


And


I am not trying that hard


To stop.

“You look like you’d rather be anywhere else in the world than here.”


“Is that really how I seem?”


“Yes.”


“Well, I want to be here.”


“Do you really?”


“Yeah! I do!”


“Well, alright then. But, are you happy?”


“I’m alright.”


“Really?”


“I think so.”


“Okay.”


. . .


. . .


“It looks like you’d rather be anywhere else than where you are right now.”


Another haunting statement by a friend, that’ll stick with me for awhile.


. . . What the hell has happened to me?


Since when

did I

start looking

like a Russian??


I heard that the Russians are not ignorant to the suffering of the world—like we are in America—and that is why they look and act so stoic. But, I am not so sure that’s why I seem this way to others.
