Letter #17: Undefined Pain

There is this little cement ball in my stomach. Each day it develops in mass and each day it becomes harder and harder to deal with. Lately I find myself unable to think about much else aside from this ball.

As I type this the tears roll off my cheeks and splash like little raindrops on my keyboard reminding me that this ball is forming for this exact reason. Because I find myself doing nothing but crying all the time. I can't control the pain any more, it feeds the cement ball like the ocean feeds a hurricane. I'm so tired. So tired.

I fear for my life. I fear that one day this ball will swallow me up and I won't be able to do a thing about it.

I don't think I'm suicidal but I also don't think I want to live. I'm an inbetweener I just want the world to swallow me up. I want to lie down and sleep forever my heart beating at a constant pace not feeling anything but peace at last.

Perhaps someday I will know peace. I'm just so tired. So very tired.
