It seems being normal, is entirely dependent on myself. Seeing as no one else is. More than anything else, who I am shouldn't be for others. Especially not these "others" but does that then connotate that I shouldn't try at all? but what would I try? maybe I just have to be happy. Its certainly seems that way. Happy to be happy. because being alive is happiness. But when I think of being being happy I choke up and my eyes swell. and I have to flare my nostrils in order to keep from crying. it's like this curse. Whenever I try to look inside to find something better, to understand this mess, this muddled beauty that surrounds me, I just choke. I stop I can't think. arielle says, dig deeper. but I'm afraid of what's inside. half the time I don't even know why I'm crying. its's like I'm traumatized. I don't want to pity myself. and maybe that's what I'm doing. or it is. I feel like I ahve to drive it out of me. but I don't want to dry out my heart like an old shrrune and never be able to feel again. I know I know I know it's all about viewpoint, about heart. If I could see myself though your eyes... I can. I know I know I know. like a child who knows she should clean up her spilled beverage, but instead leaves it. she knows she knows she knows.. but she cannot see. she is blind to her mother's harried self. she doesn't want to see, or hear. she doesn't want to dig. what is ignorance? innocence? dig, hyunja. you know. EDIT* hmmm maybe also I'm just limiting myself. Arielle said that too. maybe when I can finally learn to open my eyes all the way and my heart, then I won't cry anymore. It's just that... right now it's so difficult..... |
