stings part 2

ever felt like it burns inside and no matter what you do you can't get it out of your system? kinda like heartburn. which i've felt before; it used to be more often before i got those gastric pills.

feeling like it stings inside also feels like:

...being pricked on the finger with a needle, and it bled, but even when the blood stopped, when you run water over it or rub it against your other fingers, you can feel that stinging feeling like it hasn't really healed even though with your naked eye it looks fine.

...when your lips crack and they dry up. instinctively you start to lick them, but then you start to taste some blood as it cracks a little more. your saliva as the balm only works for awhile. and then you gotta start licking your wound again and find the living source of water to hydrate you once again.

...screaming to no one. for all the decibels you chalk up from shouting and yelling, they are like a silent mime to everybody and nobody. you're just this face in a faceless, nameless crowd.

this is what happens when i think too much. i can't help it. i was born with a mind and a brain that thinks constantly. i like to engage myself in deep thought. i can't let go / space out / whatever.

and it still hurts. deep down. only i'm not showing it on the outside. but i think those secret service spies would be able to tell by reading my face.

oh lord, you so want to test me. and knowing me, you know i want to run. but i can't.
