If there was nothing, then why does it hurt like this?

"How you gonna know the feeling, till you lost it?
I've been losing plenty since"

-Always Be, Jimmy Eat World.

And this is where it gets hard. Right now. Today. God give me strength.

... because i haven't been given much. And even that little has been taken away.

"We'll run away from tomorrow, with our lips locked"

I suppose when you don't see the point of getting hurt, you forget how hurt feels like.

And thats when you don't know you're hurting someone else.

Or care much that you're hurting someone else.

If you knew, would you care? Would you stop?

If you saw me crying, would you stop?

Would you take me into your arms and tell me its alright?

Or would you tell me to stop being an emotional child, to pick myself up and be rational?

Swell.

I'm sitting here, reading one of those cliche notes on FB. My cynicism quickly wears off and with every line i think of you. I imagine you doing those things and if you have, i think of the memory of that incident.

And my heart swells. It doesn't help that the FB picture memory sidebar has pictures of you. Cruel jokes, if you only knew.

I wish my heart didn't feel this way. I wish i didn't recognize the surge of emotions that gush through when i find myself precariously balanced on what society deems a weak moment: giving in to emotions.

I'm neither sad. Or happy.

I'm just alive.

Fuck This Shit

No. Really. Fuck it.

I'm done.

I'm done trying to be a better person. No one really gives a fuck. Cause its not what anyone really wants anyways.

I'm done caring. I'm done being nice. I'm done trying to break the streotypical image people have of me.

Bitch? Sure.

Tease? Sure.

Selfish princess? Sure.

Arrogant? Sure.

All Encompasing

Why can't i be the girl that has everything?

Am i really as inadequate as i've always thought i was?

Round 2?

The last time i felt like this was 4 years ago.

The hunger was comfortable. The weakness normalcy.

But the difference is, the last time this happened, i was depressed. I had supressed all of it and i was downing an emotional cocktail. I'm not right now though. At least, i don't think so?

Yet. 4 years ago i was in denial about it. It scares me that maybe right now i am too.
