"When we make our own misery we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change, because misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable." - Dean Koontz

Emotions are not real.
They don't come from the heart.
There should be no such thing as a
heartache.
Yet, my chest still hurts.
Tears fall like bullets.
Suffocating my life, my stomach
coils and twists.
This should not be painful.
Pain comes from reality,
Absoluteness,
Realism.
Chemicals and atoms
combining to form this false
reality,
absoluteness,
realism.
When in truth, it is all a lie.
In truth, my life is being suffocated by strings of proteins and codes.
In truth, tears are formed to wash away toxins to the eye, while my chest
throbs in pain from the lack of oxygen.
In reality, my heartache is a lie,
fantasy,
fallacy.
