The mind.

What composes a person’s mindset? What makes someone more optimistic than another?
My mind is a swirl of dark thoughts. My impending death looms in the back corner of my mind, ready to be called up at any moment.
Why do I continue living, when the happy man dies? Where is the justice in this?
There is none.
Life is a game of chance. You must draw the proper cards to continue living, or dying.
Life throws curve balls - it’s up to you whether or not you catch them. Can you continue on your path after learning someone’s dark secret, or will it affect you in a major way?
How much do our thoughts, words, interactions affect others? Can a relationship with one person change your entire viewpoint on the world? Make you question the logic and reasoning behind everything that you know?
Or can a secret, so well kept, haunt your dreams at night, keeping you awake?
What would you say to a victim? To someone who went through the unimaginable? How can you possibly begin to comprehend all of the suffering and pain?
These people, namely I, cannot tell you. Cannot let you know. Cannot speak of what has happened. How can we? Tell you the past? Let you inside?
You cannot imagine our pain. We have been affected forever - do you really want to take that knowledge upon your shoulder? It will change you. You do not deserve that.
For your safety you must stay away. It isn’t selfish - in fact, it’s the most unselfish thing you can imagine.
