Tears blur my vision, and I suddenly go blind. I hate the realization of not knowing my mind. I'd prefer to wait as my body goes numb, my heart pounding harder than the beat of a drum. I remember when emptiness seemed so surreal; but now it's normal, and I don't want to feel. But my nerves skyrocket at the slightest of touch; the responsibility of emotion is becoming too much. So I'll take out my paper, and I'll take out my pen, and I'll draw out my feelings until I can't feel again.

Responsibility of Emotion
Tears blur my vision, and I suddenly go blind. I hate the realization of not knowing my mind. I'd prefer to wait as my body goes numb, my heart pounding harder than the beat of a drum. I remember when emptiness seemed so surreal; but now it's normal, and I don't want to feel. But my nerves skyrocket at the slightest of touch; the responsibility of emotion is becoming too much. So I'll take out my paper, and I'll take out my pen, and I'll draw out my feelings until I can't feel again.
