I am not a perfect person. I am not able to do everything expected of me.
I wish I could.
But I cannot.
I do not go all out in everything, but I do not purposely want to let people down.
And yet I still do.
I just want you to know that every time this same thing happens, I get hurt. Every. Single. Time.
My hearing senses heighten, I feel my heart beat going a mile a minute, and I cannot breathe.
There is an unusual ache in my heart. I am never sure what it is, but most times, it makes me want to grab a knife and slide it on my wrist. Over and over again.
It never occurred to me that I feel and understand what dozens of others experience. I always thought of it as something distant I could never comprehend. Then I realized.
This is what it is like. To live in fear, feeling so low I can never get up. It is a giant black hole. There is no end, but there is no way out either.
I lived in this happy reality. Except it became a recurring scene, waiting for the happiness to crumble into shouting. I never realized just how recurring it became till it dawned on me, I always, always started expecting it.
If it was not today, it was tomorrow. If not tomorrow, the next day. Or the next week. Month. Year.
Pretty soon it became a cycle. Bubble of happiness, huge blowout, treading carefully; repeat.
I cannot truly be content, because everything will fall apart, only to fix itself and fall apart again.
I am wasting my time. I am wasting your time. I am wasting everyone's time.
Useless, useless, useless.
There is something wrong with me wherever I look. Not enough, never enough.
I am stuck in between heaven and hell. Only, there is no way out except one.
And that is for me to go.
I will never have the bravery of taking my life.
But if, let us say, a car or train were to incidentally come in contact with me, I would not shed a tear at the loss of my being.
I am detached.
Every moment I started waiting for the hurt, added to the emotions I now do not own.
Detachment; looking at everyone around me, I feel nothing.
I do not know what to do with my life.
Whether now,
whether the future,
or whether I want a life.
And that is the problem.
