There are certain phrases
Yourself tells you.


Repeating
reciting


and it takes a couple minutes
to realize
Yourself wanted them to mean something.


So you say it


again,
and          and
again

and then



They don't even
sound
like words
anymore.


And you admit
that



Yourself
is not
the best
at comfort.
