Feelings. Emotions.
They cause my pain.
I've become numb.
I can't feel anything.
I can't cry.
I can't smile.
I can't laugh.
I can't be me.
I can't be me without facing the bullies.
Without facing my family.
Without conquering my fear.
Without facing the monster
That lives inside my own head.
~M.L. Topinka
