Confused

Chelsey's picture

Now that she's broken her
Code of silence
Is it okay to break mine?
I feel like it is
Like,
She did it first
And my path has been cleared
But am I wrong?
Should my life not be
Controlled
Like that,
On the actions of others?
Or am I overdoing it?
What's wrong with me?
And why,
Why do I care about myself
When so many others,
Her for starters
Are in need?
I need to stop.
Why am I doing this?
Shut up, Chelsey.
Just shut up.

Shoot me now or forever hold your peace. (Honestly. I keep a loaded BAR in the disc drive.)

Notice in one of my recent "works" posts, I told myself (in a way) to shut up... Then kept right on going. I think it helps if you do that.
