I know my head isn't screwed on straight. I want to leave, transfer, warp myself to another galaxy. I want to confess everything, hand over the guilt and mistake and anger to someone else.

My closest is a good thing, a quiet place that helps me hold these thoughts inside my head where no one can hear them.
