we're barely scraping by, soon to be kicked out of our home, and all i see when I look into my mother's eyes is the disappointment she feels by my flunking out of military school. it was our liferaft, a chance to be in a cushy job for the rest of my life and support my family, to finally get out of poverty and I couldn't last THREE fucking DAYS in boot camp. and now my life feels infinitely worse than boot camp ever was. a way out through college is pretty much over, there's no way i am getting the degree within the timeframe im allowed, and no employer will take someone with a 12 year old's resume and the social skills of a wet sock.
many times I catch her looking at me with a crushed expression and I just want to gouge out my fucking eyes right there. it feels so selfish to even think about it but maybe part of the reason i want to put an end to this is to be remembered differently. not as the failure I currently am, but as something else. i think this will be my final year, no more TV shows to wait on to delay me. im so tired im so tired im so tired
