At the onset of the pandemic when I was in isolation for weeks I watched a beautiful film called "They Shoot Horses Don't They?" for the first time. Gloria is the name of the lead actresses character. The story had a profound effect on me.
lyrics
I spent last summer trying to escape my brain as I flailed. Did everything I could to impress but I failed. Faded and ready for the void to take me. It’s so close I can taste it. How many times must I tap my heels for you? How many times must I roll the dice before I feel something real? Which one of you will put me down? I'm all alone at the bar. I spent the last three weeks dancing. I can't fucking take this anymore. I know I'm worthless. If you would've just killed me it might've hurt less. I know I'm worthless. Just pull the trigger, I can't do it myself. Another broken horse. I'll see you all in hell.
