Whenever someone would ask me to describe myself, the first thing that comes to my mind is that I love expressing myself through poetry. It has been my best medium of venting out all my emotions, and obviously, it’s been quite effective lately.
But tonight is different. So many thoughts booming around my head, I can’t find even a single word to start a poem. I don’t know if I’m to call myself anxious, depressed, stressed, or worried. I am not in the position to say it, tho. I am not a psychologist nor a professional who had taken up a mastery on people’s feelings and emotions. But whatever the hell this is, it is fuqing heavy.
I understand being a teenager may cause me an abrupt change in my emotions – in layman’s term, mood swings. But to tell you honestly, I don’t think this is just about the mood swings.
I have been carrying these thoughts inside me. And frankly saying, I am tired of hearing myself.
You may be wondering why am I even so upset with my life to the extent of making this lengthy entry in my blog. Well, to be honest, I don’t even know. I sometimes think I’m going mad, but I am also confident that these thoughts are rational; these thoughts are truly existing (and happening!) I just can’t accept the fact that I cannot do anything about it. You know?
Sometimes, you wanna fix things and get over the useless painful situations you are in, but you are just helpless.
Even though I have already said for so many times that I surrender all my concerns, my worries, my fears, and my cares to the Lord, still, I am all sucked up.
I wanted to cry. I wanted to have someone I can lean on to. I wanted to have a friend to be (literally) by my side and hear all of this. I wanted someone to hear me, at least. I wanted someone to know I am weak; I am vulnerable; I am hurting; I am messed up. All this shitty image I have been trying to maintain –the disciplined, focused, goal-oriented self I have always been, it’s tiring!
Their expectations of me became unreachable. The maldita with strong personality girl I used to, it has expired! And I wanted all of you to know that. I thought it was a good idea to have the impression of being strong to last so no one can hurt you. But I am admittedly wrong of that. It is way more hurtful to see people not caring whether you’re sad or not. How could they? They’ve been used to seeing you winning over dramas.
I wanted to say good bye. I wanted to disappear, and never come back. Some say they care, but I don’t even feel their presence right now. They have been so good in words, but their actions shows nothing.
I don’t understand.
This dark place I am stranded in. I shouldn’t have been here. I am trapped. I want an escape. But how do I make my first step when I cannot even see a light ahead in my path?
