Not only did I not write this for you, but I wrote it for myself. I figured it was about time I started thinking for myself. You can spend your whole life trying to please other people, until you realise the only person who has to live with those decisions, those choices, compromises and sacrifices is yourself. So this is the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning. This is where it starts.

Wall Yourself Away.
And you are so together in your aloneness, that you make everyone feel like an outsider to that. We couldn't possibly understand. Our smiling faces are to opposite to your downturned one. Our laughing voices, too loud for your occasional croaking. Our hearts too full to comprehend your walled up one, full also, but only with self pity. And we feel like outsiders when we try to fit into you, when we try to understand. But for all those moments that we are not trying, all those moments where you sit with your head bowed, eyes fixed to an unmoving point. -- it is you who feels like the outsider. You are so together in your aloneness. We can't even try pierce you.

There is such beautiful truth running through this. Such sad truth. So many of us are alone. Sometimes the walls around us are those built only by our selves, intentionally, manically, hurriedly. Yet somehow, sometimes, we feel we cannot escape them.

Ah, I am so glad that someone is taking the time to love themselves. (Because people are so fragile and sometimes it's so hard for them to realize that they're the only ones that can keep themselves together.)

ReplyDeleteI love to be alone. I miss myslef when I can't be, but I love you too. It's just a balance problem.
