Is it possible to put one's self on autopilot?
To shut down one's mind and move at a routine pace... a zombie, a robot... numb and unfeeling.
To think of nothing. To see nothing. To feel nothing. To be nothing.
To think what one is told to think. To see what one is only necessary to see. To feel nothing.
Nothing seen. Nothing thought. Nothing felt.
A mere machine.
Coz it's 17, 18, 19... routine.
~ Relient K - "Maintain Consciousness" ~
When one is in a dark place, at a low ebb in life, one is told to watch for the light at the end of the tunnel. But how does one know that the light isn't just the headlight of a speeding train waiting to collide and crash with one's already messed up world?
It is said that the opposite of love is not hate, but that it is apathy or indifference. I would much rather that you hate me instead of showing that you do not care.
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

May kasama ka ng gusto mag-disappear... c Raymond. Haha! He told me, when he was in his shock mode, that he wanted to disappear. Quoted from one of Glen's text messages to me when we were talking about what drove us to think and feel this deep and inevitably create poems and all when we're experiencing extreme emotions, "i guess what really drove u, or even me, more than misery, is vanity. to be loved enough." - glenn

Is it possible for anyone to be loved enough?
*sighs*
Aren't we told to love others but never to forget to leave love for self?
What human being is capable of giving love enough to fill the needs of another and still leave enough for one's self?
