Are you listening?
Am I speaking to fast? Am I boring? Have I told this story
before? Am I a bit rough around the edges? Did you get a
little disappointed? Do I slip of the edge sometimes? Can you
see me drowning? Do you feel compelled to help? Do you
understand there is nothing you can do? Do you want to stay
with me anyways? Do you see that when I float, the water seems
to hug me? Do you notice how calm I can be before the storm
hits? Do you notice how long it takes for me to resurface? Do
you see me come back stronger? Am I lying to myself? Have I
already died? Is there chance for revival? How much medicine
will it take? Am I worth the cost? Are there others who
deserve the attention more? Why does my head go so fast? When
will it stop? Why can’t it be sooner? Should I apply more
pressure? Should I acknowledge and accept? Should I alter? Do
I have a choice? What is free will? When does it apply? How
many years of training will it take? Am I smart enough? Stable
enough? What does it mean to be insane? Does normal just mean
traits of the majority? Is it normal to be sad and angry? How
come I never knew how to be angry? How come I only ever felt
sadness through others? Should I want to be more isolated if
it makes me happy? How do I build my community if I want to be
left alone? Is being an artist a lonely job? What type of
people become artists? Are all artist hurt? Are all humans
hurt? Will they always be? Is there a way to fix it? Is art
that way? Should art become life? What is true self-love? Is
self-love born out of self-hate what it means to be an artist?
Am I there yet? Am I there? Am I anywhere?
