musical chairs.

i was watching a video
from when i was like 4 years old
my sister brought it from india
and i think i had ADD
and i was a little bit... slow
because i couldnt sit still
i kept jumping around
and i didnt run or walk
i hopped.
and when we were playing musical chairs
i just kept going in the circle
when the music stopped
i was the first one out
because i wouldnt sit on the chairs
i just kept going around in a circle
hopping.

"Insults are mysteries. What seems to the bystander to be the cruelest, most destructive sledgehammer of an assault, 'whore! slut! tart!,' can leave its target undamaged, while an apparently lesser gibe, 'thank god you're not my child,' can fatally penetrate the finest suits of armour, 'you're nothing to me, you're less than the dirt on the soles of my shoes,' and strike directly at the heart."
