People usually call life a rollercoaster ride. No, it is not. Rollercoaster is when you have ups and downs. Note the ‘ups’ in the ride. When there are no ups, it is a freefall all the way down. It is like bungee jumping, minus the ropes. So, in the end your head just smashes on the ground. Somewhat like what they call pink mist, tomato sauce and the like. Smashing is the ultimate. When you hit the ground, you know you have reached the end. You are either dead, or if you manage to stay alive, you have passed the toughest test of life.
But, what would you do when you never reach the end? When your head never ever smashes the ground? When you are forever falling and falling. It is like having tears in the brim of your eyes but never being able to let it out. Never being able to shed the emotions, the hurt and the pain. You just lock it up, snug it in your pocket and carry on with life. Tape a smile over your lips to seal yourself forever. Apply mascaras to cover the hurt in your eyes.
People often use the image of hollowness in your chest. It feels like you carry a weight around, but it is the weight of nothingness. Of emptiness and void. Like a hole in the universe, filled with nothing. And because you caused it, and because I accepted this, I make no apologies.
