she said she was tired of doing the "inner work".
she said she was sick of listening to everyone else and supporting their dreams.
she said she just wanted to go away.
she said its easier to be alone.

she said it sucks being so soft
and how can people be so mean
and could you even imagine ever using someone
and is she the only one who believes in being gentle with others.

she cried really hard.
and i did too because i hate to see my friend so sad.

we both had black mascara streams and red noses.

and while she was crying
this mammoth
bug flew right into her forehead and bonked
onto the ground.

and we started to laugh.
and we couldnt stop.
and we laughed really hard.
really, really, hard.

and thats all it took.

just a bug. a bug bonking.

and things seemed much better after that.
