I know my head isn’t screwed on straight. I want to leave, transfer, warp myself to another galaxy. I want to confess everything, hand over the guilt and mistake and anger to someone else. There is a beast in my gut, I can hear it scraping away at the inside of my ribs. Even if I dump the memory, it will stay with me, staining me. My closest is a good thing, a quiet place that helps me hold these thoughts inside my head where no one can hear them.

When people don’t express themselves, they die one piece at a time.

It’s easier not to say anything. All that crap you hear about on TV about communication and expressing yourself is a lie. Nobody really cares or wants to hear what you have to say.
