Dear Friend,
There are a lot of people who hide their hurt away,
Keep it in a dark room so no one can see.
Either you're just numb enough not to care
or you're braver than you think.
Maybe both.
Same boat. No paddles. I'm with you.
But, I think I distract myself from it
and put on the act.
I don't think I'm in as deep a ditch,
not anymore.
but I have some understanding
of what you're going through.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Maybe a chemical imbalance
(maybe that) but not you.
You are human, you feel.
You just feel a lot more deeply,
whether that's the feeling of despair,
of nothingness,
of a great thunder cloud
hanging over your head.
Or if that's the adrenalin
running through your veins
that makes you nervous,
angry, happy, scared.
You feel everything with a greater intensity,
including when you feel nothing at all.
Love from Me.
