. . . The best way I can describe the feeling is like being out on a big frozen lake with the people you know -- your friends, your family. You’re out there together, and everyone is enjoying the ice, laughing as they teeter and slide about. Kids chase each other. Older folks shuffle forward , arm in arm. And you’re enjoying yourself, too -- you are! You take a running start and drop to your knees, pinwheeling across the ice, and it’s thrilling and hilarious , but who cares, because there’s some part of you, some deep part, that cannot stop thinking about the freezing water beneath the ice. Stop it, you say to yourself. STOP IT.
But you can’t stop it. Because some part of your refuses to ignore what’s beneath, to ignore the fact that at some point -- maybe in seconds, maybe in weeks, maybe years, if it stays cold and you’re lucky -- but sometime in the foreseeable future, the ice will give way to the cold, black water below it. And, one by one, your friends, your family, and you will all fall in. Shut up, you think, as you spin across the ice laughing. Shut up.
. . . Will it ever go away, you wonder. Or will it always be there, that shadow at the edge of things?
. . . All of it speaks to that same fucking water beneath the crust of things, moving and shifting and waiting and you wonder, DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE THIS?!
Are you alone?
Are you just messed up? Were you born missing something, some protective layer , some membrane that’s supposed to shield you from the sight of it -- that water, right there inches below?

Half of us are faking
And the other half is tired
And scared
And these hands could've moved mountains..
