Why?
I don't believe in god, but if I did, I'd scream and shout and cry my eyes out in hope that they would listen. Instead I just sit in my room. Silent. Silenced. Silenced by myself, by the world, by my pain. There is nothing left to gain. I feel like I am suffocating in my own skin. All I want to do is get rid of this flesh suit that breaks me. I am my own worst critic, my own worst enemy, my own worst ending. I am the main character of a book that no one wants to read. Because, in the end, you always judge a book by it's cover. I don't want my story to end, not now. Not ever.
There is a strange beauty in failing. It's the most human of experiences. Yet, every time I fail, every time I disappoint every time I am not enough. Not strong enough, not pretty enough, not giving enough until in the end I am not.
This wretched face can't save you now. There is no end to this, only breathtaking emptiness that consumes everything and everyone until they are not.
Why, you wonder?
Why.
