scared

so... i'm amazed at how quickly our emotions turn on us mere humans.

our hearts are a contradiction onto themselves which i dare say is scary and exhilarting all at the same time, but oh how fragile, and how we lie to our hearts to keep the truth from wandering down from the brain so as not to harm the preciousness we carry within ourselves, beating even when we feel it may stop for the absolute pain it's been tainted with.

Once branded and scarred, tough from the myriad of lashes it's taken... can i let myself love again...
