Pain

Visible to anyone in the world

It has recently occurred to me, that most people are not in any appreciable amount of pain at any one time. 

Most people, it seems, are able to go about their daily lives all the while feeling fine, feeling good, confident, attractive, and mentally well. 

I thank these people for their fine contributions to society, and our socialist system of benefits, for keeping me alive. 

Actually, I know I need to die, to take away the burden of me. But that is a future endeavour. 

For now, I will concentrate on finishing my degree, on making music and art, and looking after my cats and friends, Tommy and Charlie, and friends Charlie, Roberto, Massimo, Lee, Eugene, Sara, Aaron, and Tamsin, and any others I have failed to mention, and my family, Ryan, Corina, Julie, Fred, Rio, Rocco, Sia, Fiona and Dayne, Phoenix and Montel, and cousins and all the rest. 

I don't really know what else to say this morning.

What do you mean "Don't make assumptions about people"? 

I myself am in so much emotional pain that it makes me want to commit suicide. 

Does everybody feel like that?

People can hide their pain

For me, I’m easy going, laid back and ‘oh nothing fazes Judith’

No one knows how I feel inside some days

And we need people like you, Judith - happy, contented, unphasable. 

We look up to you, us perpetual mess-ups ha ha.
