poetic passage

well i just finished reading the book clay's way. i dont really suggest it as "good" reading unless you wanna feel like killing yourself. catcher in the rye is a WAY better novel and worth so much more of my time, but, toward the end of the book there was this one paragraph that i thought was really affecting:

"we just believe what we want to, no matter what the signs and the earth and our friends and parents are saying from the outside. we just veer into danger like a drunk driver on our own blind paths of least resistance, steering towards tragedy, heartbreak, and being totally alone so that no matter how hard we scream, no one will care. we're able to ignore everything we've learned and just abandon our intuition and careen into the face of hell"
