The options are endless and I keep choosing to stay busy
I feel a volcano of emotions waiting to explode
I’m too afraid to confront the pain
I hate hurting
I don’t want to sob out of fear that I won’t be able to get up from my bed
I pray last minute to fill the silence that exists before I fall asleep
I’m petrified of being with my thoughts
I’m exhausted and it hurts too much
