I pretend I've got lots of confidence and I'm a big jock and like that but deep inside I'm a frightened, insecure, can't-make-it failure.

It's a good thing most people bleed on the inside or this would be a gory, blood-smeared earth.

one day I'll be old, without ever having really been young

Maybe the new me will be different.

I'm not really sure which parts of myself are real and which parts are things I've gotten from books.

I'm afraid to live and afraid to die.

I’ve got to sleep. Sleep is my only way to escape.
