I've been thinking a little today about emotion and what exactly would you consider an emotional defect? Would it be someone who can't exactly portray how they really feel on the outside, so they paint their face, sit straight, and smile, and then go home and cry it all out in a letter that no one will ever see in a shoebox under their bed? Or could it possibly be the extreme opposite? Like maybe someone who falls so hard they feel they can't breathe? They rip their heart out and wear it on there sleeve for everyone to see and they have nothing to hide. The biggest question that I have is...is it possible to be of both extremes?
I've also come to the conclusion that some things that you feel can't possibly be verbalized. It hangs on your tongue but never parts because however you may say it, it just doesn't come out right. So the feeling sits, and it stirs, and it eats away at you, and you want to scream, and you want to run, but your stuck. Here's a thought though. It may not be able to be verbalized but just maybe it can be wrote.
So I write... for all to see like the one who has their heart on their sleeve, and I write a letter that no one will ever see and shove it in a shoebox to stay, and I write because...well, there are some things that you just can't verbalize.
