A Point of Reference
You.
I sort of blew up today. It was around lunch time when AC asked me what's eating me. I sort of got mad at Jaco over something stupid (I apologize man, just wasn't my day) and then he asked me what was wrong and I told him exactly what was wrong. I felt like a mess.
I guess I may have said too much to AC about what was bothering me. Maybe because he wanted to know and I really wanted to talk. I told him about the whole deal about what's been eating at me. How my inferiority complex can get the best of me. Everyday, I try to make myself feel better and to somehow absolve myself from mistakes and regret yet there are always people... people who remind me of how I can never change.
I made too many mistakes in my life and everyday, I want to at least forgive myself for those mistakes. I've lost friends over time, close friends, friends who I consider as family. I've felt alone then because I felt that whenever I have embraced something or someone, it would be destined to be stripped away from me. And yet, here I am again, making the same mistakes. Allowing people to become closer than what I had expected, allowing them to see me, allowing them into my world where ultimately, the same thing will happen again. I chose to live with myself alone, only to let people come to me at a certain level then cut them off from knowing anything more... but it's too hard to be alone and I slip up, letting people know too much, making them come a little closer, I begin to trust them a little better and maybe that's the mistake because then, these people, these same people will find a way to hurt me again.
Hedgehog's Dilemma. I cannot be too close to anyone because I'm afraid of getting hurt. I already feel broken, why do I have to let anyone else know? Why did I have to tell AC how much everything hurt? Why do I run away from my parents whenever they ask me why I looked the way I did? Why do I choose to write my problems away rather than talk about them? Because, Because, Because I cannot risk trusting anyone without them hurting me back. I made too many mistakes to have anyone trust me, I am a bad person who is not worth anyone's time. Does anyone know how much it hurts to know how alone it feels to have only your mistakes/regrets/faults as companions? To have people you care about, run away from you or betray you? Or worse, have them not care at all...
A Point of Reference... If life is defined by a point of reference, then I might not have one. I have nothing to hold on to because everything rapidly slips from my fingertips and I find myself tormented -yes- as I search for one. Maybe for some people, there are no point of references meant for them. They have to wander throughout life alone... ever searching for one... in the dark...
I wish life was a dream, so I can wake up kicking and screaming
