I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do.
I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.
I'll just wait right here for you cause I know your new love won't last. I wound easy, but I heal fast.
I'll be a fool or a wiseman, my darling, you hold the key. Anyway you want me, that's how I will be.
I'm just a no-good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime.
If you won't leave me, I'll find someone who will.
I'm sorry to myself, for treating me worse than I would anybody else.
I'm about as normal as Norman Bates.
I would not have discredited every one of their compliments. It was your approval I wanted, your congratulations.
I suffered fools so gladly.
Dreams were all they gave for free to ugly duckling girls like me.

Perhaps the most extraordinary popular delusion about violence of the past quarter-century is that it is caused by low self-esteem. That theory has been endorsed by dozens of prominent experts, has inspired school programs designed to get kids to feel better about themselves, and in the late 1980s led the California legislature to form a Task Force to Promote Self-Esteem. Yet Baumeister has shown that the theory could not be more spectacularly, hilariously, achingly wrong. Violence is a problem not of too little self-esteem but of too much, particularly when it is unearned.

I took notes on the people around me, in my town, in my family, in my memory. I took notes on my own state of mind, my grandiosity, the low self-esteem. I wrote down the funny stuff I overheard. I learned to be like a ship's rat, veined ears trembling, and I learned to scribble it all down.
