Where?
And the music starts, seven pairs of feet shuffle to its rhythm, round and round the six remaining stools, until the music abruptly stops. The clamour for the stools starts instantaneously. Slow to react, I can’t find a stool - the last fool standing.
The insider is now officially the outsider. Too bad it had to be me.

Catch-22
It’s the realization that you are coming back with nothing in particular to look forward to but another day of broken dreams and hearts. It never ends.
Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.

If I could, maybe I'd give you my world.
If you peer into this turbulent pond of conscience that are my thoughts, you would never be able to decipher them. I find it increasingly difficult to abstract a sliver of sense from the arguments that I make, to the very point where I no longer wish to fight or rationalise, and my only wish is to placate your deepest insecurities.
Put this all into context, and perhaps you might see the larger...

run for your life.
From the very first day, it has been go, go and go.
Now you are in the middle of the race - your legs are giving way, you are flailing for every last gasp of air, your mind weary from the weekly routine.
Yet, you know you can’t pause to feel your leg, can’t pause to take a breath, can’t pause to collect your thoughts. Every moment counts, every pause you take you fall a little...

It's because...
You always hurt the one you love,
The one you shouldn’t hurt at all.
You always take the sweetest rose,
And crush it till the petals fall.
You always break the kindest heart,
With a hasty word you can’t recall.
So, if I broke your heart last night,
It’s because I love you most of all.
Blue Valentine - Ryan Gosling -
