Hard to think about.

Harder to talk about.

Easy to avoid.

Easier to wish didn't happen.

Loneliness, even in a crowd.

Irritable among peace.

Motivation?

If only I could explain.

If only people knew.

But I can't.

And they won't.

Unless it happens to them.

And I hope it doesn't.

So I think about it, talk about it,

even though I want to avoid it and wish it didn't happen.

Are you listening?

Please tell me. I need to know.
