two sides of a coin

sometimes, i feel so full of emotion i feel like i'm going to explode

make it stop

send it away

i don't want to feel anymore

feeling hurts

hurts like an ache buried deep in my bones that i can't dig out

and i have no outlet to remove this toxin

this chemical in my brain that makes me feel

i would rather feel nothing

than feel like this


other times, i feel so disgustingly empty i search for something to make me feel

i look to words to inspire me

i look to movies to make me cry

i look to songs to make me feel related to something

i look to photography to make me seek beauty in the world

numb makes me feel like life is pointless

and it's not

yet, somehow, a lack of dopamine makes me believe it so

i would rather feel everything

than feel like this
