"There's an emptiness, that at times, seems to burn.
I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean."
Why is it, that when I just want to express something, all the best words are taken? Do I truly lack that much originality.
In the sense of the word, I gather that I'm anything but unoriginal.
But that could be the lies talking.
The whispers in my ear. The beratement. The dire instinct that my heels should hit the pavement -- barefoot and sprinting.
I sometimes wish life could whisk by like wind through hair. Just blow me back, refresh me, leave me feeling lighter and more free, instead of weighted and chained.
Here I sit, at 2:30 in the morning, and the most dominant emotion present within me wants to produce tears instead of smiles. Blame it on the hour, blame it on the hollow walls that surround me in an unfamiliar place. Blame it on the unreliable source that is my makeup of my sentiments. Blame it on me. I'm a highly reliable scapegoat. At the end of a diaster, I'm the exclamation point.
I honestly don't think "one's own worst critic" can truly encompass me. Perhaps all the words of description aren't taken. Because I'm not sure there's a phrase accurate enough to depict my downfalls to their truest degrees.
No, nothing devastating has happened. No event has implanted it's crater into my steeled shell. This is just me, at an uneventful time. Speaks volumes, doesn't it? Too bad it's shouting in a language I'm inept with.
Enigma is my name. Stay away from me.
