It's Kind Of A Funny Story

Yes, I realized I just posted. But I like this book. I want to share it. Bear with me.

It's so hard to talk when you want to
kill yourself.
That's above and beyond everything else,
and it's not a mental complaint -- it's a physical thing
like it's physically hard to open your mouth
and make the words come out.
They don't come out smooth
and in conjunction with your brain
the way normal people's words do;
they come out in chunks
as if from a crushed-ice dispenser;
you stumble on them
as they gather behind your lower lip.
So you just keep quiet.


This is the first paragraph. I'm in love.
I feel you.
