Unconsoled, Lonely And So Much Better Than I Used To Be
'There isn't a damn thing wrong with you except that you think you're a failure. You're not, of course, but as a result of thinking you are you've scratched the surface of your mind all over, and you when you sit here like this, looking out at the rain, you keep rubbing it so hard that it doesn't heal.
