I'm sad again.
I thought it was getting better.
Apparently not.

My stomach hurts all the time.
But that's nothing
Compared to the way my heart hurts.

I am desperate to be free.
Happy, careless.

But that will never come to pass.
Because, you see,
I like the pain.

It's better than feeling nothing.

At least, that's what I tell myself.
