Often times I am
Devoid of every feeling.
No love, no hate,
No excitement, nor pain.
Feelings hurt endlessly
And I don't want to deal with them.
So I put them far away from me
Because I can't handle them.
Am I weak? But I seem strong.
That's all that matters, really.
People don't like to peel away the wrapper of a person.
They'd rather just believe that there is happiness underneath.
Better not to open a can of worms
Just to help a friend.

Just something I've found that people don't understand. I wish I could be more emotional.
