At the End of the Day

After all the laughter and the fun... at the end of the day, when you think that you've got everything covered, you will still feel that dreaded emptiness because you refuse to acknowledge the need to fill the void. You keep telling yourself that you can stand alone yet you shiver at the thought of being alone.  You put yourself into a lonely exile behind a facade of complacency and that look of smug satisfaction. You may feign beatitude and bliss and make everybody believe you're on top of the world, but you cannot fool yourself. That feeling of emptiness is nothing but a constant reminder of this farce you portray.

You say this too shall pass?  IT will not pass... unless you act upon it, wrap it up, and bring it to a close. Unless you choose to numb yourself, cripple your mind, and let your emotions wither away, it is time to come to terms with your inner self. Let go of the sanctimony of independence and accept the fact that you cannot live on bread alone.

... and you know damn well what I'm talking about.
