Note: This is a part of a small collection of short pieces written when I couldn’t decipher what emotion I was feeling. There I found the “in-between.” These pieces were written in haste and then lightly edited later.
It’s funny how easily we push away the goodness that we truly deserve.
We taste the sweetness of genuine affection, appreciation and respect and grow to think that it’s only a treat.
A treat that we can’t have a lot or else it will make us sick.
But instead, your brain is already ill and develops a taste for something much worse for you in place of that “treat.” It’s an addiction to poison but you’ve tricked yourself into thinking it’s good for you.
You’re too numb to notice it’s not.
