incarcerated thoughts…
i summoned hell’s will to ignore, negate or perhaps reason myself to be unaffected, i still feel this pain
this gripping force inching its way to the left side of my chest. it’s not the hurt i’m scared of, it’s my familiarity to it… the numbness i carry with it. i just can’t believe i can’t hide behind my facade of insensitivity. wishing to forget that i even tried hiding it. hoping i was already immune. apparently, i still am not. this is pointless. you know too goddamned well what i CAN control and what i CANNOT. i’ve stood before you naked, stripped off pride and presumptions. yet it all boils down to the fact that we failed to define this undeniable state. im torn between allowing my feelings to show and allowing myself to even feel this. hell. is it wrong? perhaps. but it’s worse to move on assuming everything’s fine. at this point, you know too well what you’re capable of. what saddens me is the fact that i can’t get used to it nor i will be EVER. even if the pain is familiar, it never ceases to hurt more than what i can fathom. i’m sorry. i don’t want to say it. it will kill me. i only have my pride to protect. experience have taken everything away from me except my pride. this shitty feeling always gets in the way. it sometimes even let me forget that i have pride. well, maybe it isn’t pride. maybe it’s just the truth. but then again… i’m too proud to tell the truth.
