Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Vessel | Kendall Pack

Somehow it has stuck in your mind that the scars on your arms are cool. You think that blood is something that needs to be seen. You don't understand it when people tell you how beautiful you are. You're always telling people that they don't understand your problems. You are questioning your belief in God out loud so people will notice. You want to rebel, but you are pathetic at it. You are trying so hard to hate everyone. But deep down, all you want is for someone to fall deeply in love with you. You try to steal other girl's boyfriends because you enjoy it. You ask them to tell you it's alright and for them to hold you close. You are sick and you don't want to hear about it. You think your trials are too much and that you are the only one who has to take on such burdens. You don't even try to look across the cash register at your customers who have much more weight on their shoulders. You make sure that the world knows that you know that they have turned away from you. And one day, they will.
