A better measure than my own preconception?

Can I calculate a typical reaction?

Motionless, I acquiesce in silence, hard, uneasy Every breath filling my chest with cold anxiety Spinning awkwardly, falling clumsily I throw myself out there, but turn, I'm running away Just to dive back in to these pages A shelter whenever I'm lost in agony Ah, what is this wretched world I'm living inside?

Even so, even so All the sorrow, I'm taking it in I'm weeping and I'm wailing, taking everything in All the heartache, I'm clutching inside Are my arms curled in my bed?

Tear away the pain and send it far away So that misery won't steal away the pieces that still remain Cause in the end, I'll stay by my own side anyway The road before, winding on and on without end It's time to lie and rest for a while, it's okay There's no one here who will scold me as I sick fast asleep
