Finished
I need people.
When I'm alone, I start thinking.
Thinking is bad for me because
When I think, I get these feelings.
Sadness is the most prolific
Of them all, and I have
No defenses with which to
Protect myself. Being around
Other people protects my mind
From the clouds that threaten it
Every single day. People give me
Energy. They heal me. They distract
My mind so that I can actually be
Happy for a little while.
Being emotionally whole is such
An impossible thing to attain.
Once you lose that wholeness of
Self, you will never get it back.
I just want to take away the pain
And sadness I feel so often.
I just want it all to be over with.
