10:54



10:54
at that time
the shivers went down my spine
what am I thinking?
The laws of drinking take the pain away
It hurts like a sharpened sword to your gut
but as for me, I am out of luck
my head hurts 24/7
It feels like glass shattering
Just dark and depressed
and I ask myself
why?
Why is it me that feels the pain?
Why is it me that has to suffer?
I have no freedom
I am like a caged animal
In fact it is me the one sharing my heart
In fact it is me caring for others that throw dirt on my name
People take vulnerability as a weakness
BUT
vulnerability is a strength.
