the snail
maybe this once
i won’t ruin it before it has begun
won’t imagine every possibility
Won’t make reality feel alien
endure my stupidity
my thorns
under the shell, the distrust and self-sabotage
there is a
something
i´d call it a selfish piece of shit
but since you have made it this far I suppose you feel different
