this is why it's better when i'm numb.

Current mood:  ashamed

I can feel everyone's pain like a bucket of cold water pouring over me. 
Like dropping through the ice into a lake.
Frozen.
And I can't stop feeling it. 
All of the pins and neeles as if it's happening to me right now. 
I can't get myself to stop until I've felt it completely. 
I feel too much or not at all.
Take it all in or bolt the windows shut. 
I wish I could let you in.
I see you desperate pressed against the glass,
but im afraid you'll eat me alive.
