My problem is that I feel too much. When I was 14 I thought I loved a boy who cared nothing about me. I felt so much and didn't know how to handle it, so I began to cut. When I cut it was the first time that I had control over what I felt, and it helped. When I was 15 I fell in love with a boy who cared about me more than anything in the world. I learned that there are better ways to be in control of what I felt, and I started writing poetry. Now that I'm 19, and me and that boy have grown up, we've broken our own hearts by being so unsure with the world. And I feel way too much. More than when I thought I was in love the first time, more than when I knew I was in love the second. My body is overcome by everything it feels. My ******* turn into sobs. My sobs turn into laughter. Poetry helps, but not enough. I haven't been eating enough, because by not eating I regain some control. But I need something. I know there is something that is missing. And I'm going to find it.
