I hate seeing myself more than knowing myself. My chest aches from seeing me too much. My tears don’t fall anymore. Why do I feel so insufficient? F*ck… this hurts. I have to hide before this gets revealed. It’s rare for me to speak of the pain inside me. It hurts to know there’s something wrong with me. I want to leave this place. Why did I leave? Why did I break? I look up and stop thinking of me. And I just start writing. I write words that hurt to say, but not to write. They slip from your mind without you noticing. Do I have talent? I don’t know, and I don’t want to. I write what I feel so no one ever sees it. And if they do, just know these are my feelings, not my knowledge. “It’s easier to say it”— that’s what they say without living it. How ignorant they are without feeling it. I don’t seek attention, because this is a situation, not an action. I don’t care about your opinion. This is all about disposition. If you don’t have it, you’ll never understand what “seeking attention” really is. Ignorant— that’s what they are. And that’s why they can’t see the vision.

What I Hide From Myself
I hate seeing myself more than knowing myself. My chest aches from seeing me too much. My tears don’t fall anymore. Why do I feel so insufficient? F*ck… this hurts.

Why did I break? I look up and stop thinking of me. And I just start writing. I write words that hurt to say, but not to write. They slip from your mind without you noticing. Do I have talent?
