diffusing a bomb

as I'm slamming doors &
cursing existence, I 
~grudgingly~
replay this thought of a 
wiser, calmer self, 
sighing in the back

"expectations are only
resentments 
waiting to happen."

(delivered in a 
condescending
sing-song)

I have no idea how or when
that sentiment burrowed in,
which inspirational garbage heap
this quote was salvaged from, yet 
here it is, regardless.

ahhh...

I'm still throwing things
but breathing, 
allowing the uncaring 
current of events to
carry me screaming 
toward certain failure

thank you,
Wiser Jenny,
you're so right!

just kick back, let go
of what you can't change
& allow the whims of
assholes to dictate the 
course of your life

just breathe...

relax...

(don't hurt anyone)
