“there’s something unnerving about the jaded heart,
with jagged corners sharp enough to draw blood,
when it goes silent.”
— “exhaustion”
...I’m tired.
Not physically, but in an emotional way...
I feel like I hide too much...
From friends,
From family,
From everyone...
...I’m tired of this mask...
When can I take it off?...
Never stop being a good person because of bad people.

I want to scream. I want to scream until my throat becomes raw, until my nose is bloody, until my face is damp from the tears.
I want to scream until the earth splits in two, until the stars come falling down, until the sky shatters, until the volcanoes rumble with destruction.
I want to scream until you hear me in heaven, until you hear me on earth, until you hear me in the fiery pits of your hell, until you hear me now and forever, everywhere.
I want to scream until you come back, until you find me, until you hold me, until you love me again.
I want to scream until I shatter, until i’m nothing, until to dust i shall return, until the pain stops, until everything stops.
I don’t scream. I swallow my pain until it fills me completely, until nothing else is there, until it kills me.
Why is kindness such a rarity?
Who made it abnormal to treat another human as if they actually are a living, breathing being?
What caused us to retreat so far into ourselves that we don’t notice the pain around us?
When did we become like this?
...and how can we change it?
