Chapter 5 - the darkness falls

I have come to the conclusion that I am a walking paradox,

a mismatched mix of innocence and experience,

a bottle of oil and water constantly being shaken.

I overthink the details.

I miss the big picture.

I am a perfectionist.

I am a procrastinator.

I have strong opinions.

I am indecisive.

I am stubborn.

I apologize too much.

its not physically possible to be like this.

there is a reason oil and water separate no matter how may times you shake them back together.

I am black and white dots in a body shaded gray, and I dont know which part of myself is the truth anymore.

mercury:

my mood changes too fast for my brain to keep up with.

sometimes, I am okay.

I really am.

talking,

working,

laughing.

then suddenly, day trades places with night and my neurons freeze.

I stop talking.

I stop working.

I stop laughing.

all I can do is pray the frostbite doesnt reach my heart before the sun rises again.
