HYPOCRISY. WELL AND ALIVE. STRIPPED FROM BEING A VOICE OF REASON TO EVERYBODY’S ENEMY. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU LOST CONTROL OF THE PERSON YOU’RE KNOWN TO BE. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU LOST CONTROL OF THE WAY THAT YOU’RE MEANT TO BE. EXILED. PUSHED AWAY. THROWN OUT OF A COMMON PLACE MEANT TO PICK YOU UP WHEN YOU ARE DOWN. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU LOST CONTROL OF THE PERSON YOU’RE KNOWN TO BE. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU LOST CONTROL OF THE WAY THAT YOU’RE MEANT TO BE. NOT YOUR FAULT. LOST CONTROL. ISOLATION DOES NO GOOD. DON’T LET IT GET TO YOU. ISOLATION DOES NO GOOD. I WILL RESPECT THE CHOICE YOU MAKE. I WILL RESPECT.
