I always did find it so funny how so little words can hide so many feelings. I mean, you see it everywhere on Tumblr. The whole “I say I’m fine when I’m actually not” thing, that is. You see it and you think to yourself, “Hey, yeah, that’s true. That’s totally how I feel all the time.”
You get your heart trampled on, and when someone asks you, you only say, “I’m okay. No, really, I’m fine. There’s no need to be worried.” And deep inside you’re just breaking down, wanting to be comforted, but you have no idea how to fucking say it, so all that’s left for you is to deny it all, and hope that someone will realize you’re not actually okay. That you’re really just screaming for help.
When you just get so frustrated that you want to cry, to punch something, to kill someone, to tear your hair out- but you don’t, and all that’s left for you to do is suck it up and force your tears back. And the same people who frustrated you asks if you’re mad at them, and you just say, “Oh, no, I’m not. Don’t worry about it,” and you spout some excuse, like, “I’m just sleepy,” or “I’m just thinking of something.” And in your head, you’re cursing that person. “What the hell, man?! Are you fucking stupid? Who the hell wouldn’t get angry at that? As if you wouldn’t have gotten fucking angry if it were the other way around!”
It can get tiring, having to hide your feelings like that. There you are, bottling everything up ‘cause you know you’ll just be a bother. Or maybe ‘cause you know people will start bothering you. And you just… You’re just tired. So, so tired…
