now do I have nothing

by mk-5

I cant do it anymore I could before because I was aching in pain because it hurt so much it spilled from every possible exit through art my great sadness leaked gushing at times, never ending I wrote not to let anyone know I wrote for myself I wrote because if I tried to contain it I wouldn't have been able to breathe but now I can't write I don't have the debilitating sadness anymore and it scares me I traded my art in turn for happiness, what does that make me? What if my happiness is only in scale with a overwhelming sadness its like I have to hurt I always have to hurt if I don't hurt then I can't be me have I defined myself by a constant pain? death is too easy living is unbearable where does that leave me an artist without a skill a body without a soul
