Blow

When I was younger, a boy at my school had indirectly insulted me because a friend of mine had annoyed him. In his defense, the only statement I was given was "Ignore him. When he's mad at one person, he's mad at everyone. He's just taking it out on you." Somewhere along the lines, that stuck with me more than anything. I was bent on never becoming the person who lashed out on innocent people because someone else had done an injustice to me. You see, I never wanted to hurt anyone the way I had been hurt. Yet, things never work out the way we plan them to.

Have you ever felt like a Dam with cracks, leaking out from every side and you lose yourself in a frenzy trying to figure out which crack to fill first? If you hold grudges, allow resentment to build inside of you and wage wars for the sake of your stubborn nature then that is exactly how you will feel. There is only so much you can protect yourself from after fighting anyone who gets too close. There are some bridges that once burnt can never be rebuilt again and that will leave you feeling alone.

How long can you hide away in your loneliness before you admit you need someone to lend you a hand?

Eventually, inevitably, you will start to leak from one point and before you realize it there will be holes and cracks in you which you won't be able to plug. Then there will come that moment when you burst like a nuclear explosion, hurting all the innocent people around you. The moment when everything you've been trying to hold inside will come tumbling out and there will be only so little you can do to minimize the damage.

They say you should not bottle things up inside but they never tell you the consequences. They never tell you just how much damage you can do by letting emotions build up inside of you.
