There are over 200,000 words in the English language.
More words get added every year.
Still, none are capable of describing the pain that I feel.
The happiest times in the lives of others bring me to the edge of the biggest, blackest hole.
I sit and I wait. I want to be happy. I want to smile and laugh and ask questions. I want to be able to respond in a normal way. I want to be able to share in that happiness.
But instead I can't move. I can't breathe. Somehow the wound that I thought was beginning to scab all of a sudden gets ripped open again. The edges get torn a little bigger.
I want to just crawl into that hole. But I can't. I somehow need to move. I need to breathe.
Nothing will get better if I don't breathe.
So I do.
I breathe because I have to.
But once I breathe I remember how badly it hurts.
I can't stop it.
So I run. And I write.
And I cry.
