a truth:

(You're scared. More scared than you'll ever admit, and sad. Sad enough that miserable is probably a more accurate description, and
                               lone
ly, too.
              Alone

enough that even your friends' are barely enough to make you smile, now, now you are apathetic, because feeling is tootoo much-
