in public places you sit or stand quietly

by mira gonzalez from i will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together

you try to not draw attention to yourself
you are considerate and polite in social situations
you hide certain opinions and express other ones
you want people to perceive you as agreeable
anyone can enjoy your presence for a short period of time
you allow people to project appealing qualities onto you
for this reason they maintain relationships with you
for a few weeks, months, a year or two
you take drugs because they make you feel different
benzodiazepines make you feel detached, affectionate
as if your opinions and desires exist independently of you
amphetamines make you feel thinner, more sociable
you are equally compelled by experiences with extremely positive or
extremely negative outcomes
physically attractive people don’t appeal to you
you feel compelled by people based on their ability to change things
your perception of reality, the ways in which you assign connotation to
memories
you are interested in people who, when thought of years from now,
will cause you to recall certain, specific, crippling emotions
