i can barely put this feeling into words. it is awkward, it is uncannily difficult to deal with, and i am desperate to let it out but there is nothing i can do. there is a war in my mind, and both sides are losing. it is not silent, it is a low buzz, a muted whisper, not really there but still so real. it makes its way into every thought, every action, an invader and intruder, an insatiable, feral desire that you never really know i am trying to go both ways at once, leave and enter, exist yet be nothing at all right and wrong are never too far apart, and i am getting tired of choosing.
