I'm a total wreck. Afraid to let anyone near. Afraid they'll see the real me.

It's just so hard to feel good, you know?
grandma easy
Grandma once told me it's easy to overthink love, to dissect it and question it until it is no more.
men despair olympus
I feel like a goddess, jailed in her Olympus. Little wonder how the gods toyed with humans. Toyed with women, to watch them squirm, pollinate the seeds of despair; toyed with men, to satiate their Seven Deadly Sins.

couple disappointment fall
Disappointment Can do a couple things. It can drop you into a giant sucking sinkhole of depression, a place you have to fight to climb out of. Or it can trigger an epic mania to overcome the odds and transform failure into success. Say you swing as high as the chains will take you because you seek the thrill of flight, and on the up- kick, you lose your seat. Injury is likely. But if you worry about falling down, and never chance "up," the sky will remain forever out of reach.
pain veins alive
And the thought of that makes me want to open a vein, experience pain, know I'm alive, despite this living death.
