f*ck you if youve heard this all before. Dont ask me 
whats wrong? If I dont talk. If I'm quiet then its 
because I dont want everything to fall down. Seem every 
time I force air through my throat wrong things sound 
you know Im trying too hard to be myself but it just 
isnt me. Its dishonest. Honest. Oh, honestly . . . 
Don't believe the things I did last night - got caught 
up in the flood of lights and friends and trends and 
selfish gripes. Was I listening to anything I was 
saying? No. Sick of going home and banging my head 
against the wall. Sick of my own voice (and sick of 
writing it all down). Sick of putting up with this 
plane of thought. Finding that it really wasnt what I 
thought it was at all. You can cry now. You can cry and 
whinge and sob and complain. And you might try to shut 
your mouth because it all seems better that way. But in 
all truth youre going to be a fool in somebodys eyes 
anyway. Unbelievable. Someone sits down next to me on 
this tram and starts talking openly about how your 
thoughts arent really your own (how did she know, how 
could she have known?) So I listen amused by her 
sincerity because this concept had been rushing through 
my head all week. Her facial expression got the better 
of me. The conversation bordered on theatrics: Look at 
them she said indicating the occupied seats Theyre 
unhappy with where they are going on this tragic old 
street . . . unloading all the negativity that they 
bring. I know because I used to feel the same when I 
worked on one of these things. And I know she believed 
every word she said, but was she peddling someone elses 
ideas? Look, heres the card of the place that satisfied 
me (she was) Perhaps she would have made more sense if 
she has of said plainly to me: f*ck you if you've heard 
this all before . . .
