Do You Feel Anything?

By Dekika

Do you feel anything, he asked.

Sure I feel stuff.
I feel like crawling in my bed and dying.
I feel like screaming at everyone and everything beautiful and happy in the world, because I can't have that.
I feel like crying until there is no more saddness inside.
And since that's not possible, I feel like crying until I fall into a deep painful sleep.
I feel like stabbing and cutting and causing myself so much pain that I pass out.
I feel like taking all the posters on my wall, all the pictures, all the happy memories and tearing them to shreads in a mad fit.
I feel like throwing a tantrum. Kicking and screaming and throwing myself on the floor like a child.
I feel like yelling at every single person that dares come near me and never giving it a second thought.
I feel like punching the happy couple in both their faces.
I feel like running until my body physically breaks down and crumbles beneath me.
I feel like burning my house, my school, and everything else that ever meant anything to me down to the ground.
I feel like trashing every material thing that, in my ignorance, I ever found comfort in.
I feel like taking all my accomplishments, everything that I worked for, and flushing them down the toilet.
I feel like telling everyone all the bad things I've thought about them.
I feel like spreading this hate and rage to anyone who'll allow it.
I feel like dying, just to go to Hell and spit in the face of the devil himself.
I feel like giving up on everything that ever gave me hope and the strength to go on.

Do you feel anything, he asked.

More than you'll ever know.

    oouuh..! I almost got sucked in. I actually just took a conscious deep breath of life. Very strong emotion here; not really a place I'd like to feel, since I know where all that darkness leads. For a moment, reading this actually scared me. Thanx for sharing.

    if people only got the real answers when they asked such inane questions of other people. The truth hurts, the first and last lines tie everything together
