The chain reaction.
Like a ball and chain,
Dragged down confusion.
Drowning in the lake of chemical reactions and emotive responses.
'Keep it all in your head, then you can deal with it and it's like nothing ever happened.'
These thoughts are lies,
To keep you safe from...
From the descision to make yourself vulnerable.
To keep from looking like a fool.
To keep your emotions untouched.
Too much pride.
Too much desire to be bullet proof.
Where is the line between being fiercely independent and vulnerable?
A question one must ask themselves from time to time.
Always afraid that if you go out on that limb you will find yourself alone and the limb will snap.
