The hallway is still. Not even a murmur from the apartment that never sleeps. Though cautiously I open the fire door. The stairwell beyond is often full of surprises. I admit it’s been quit for weeks now, but I don’t let my guard down. Something about always being prepared.
And I need all the reasons I can find not to hate myself. But it’s hard. Even the idea makes me shiver. Because I see loving myself like looking down on others. Riding around on a high horse. And I never want to think I’m better then the people I see on the street. The ones who have it rough. The ones who don’t fit in. The ones I see my own face in.
