Open Editions: Broken

Please forgive my appearance, i've been broken. I've been shattered. I've re-assembled the pieces and attempt to navigate society. I go through the motions. I know how i'm expected to act in a polite society. I understand others comfort is paramount, and I should do nothing to cause them to feel... anything. Everyone wants to be blissfully ignorant, cognitive dissonance of the fallout of our society is that everyone pretends everything is okay. That if not normal, it's acceptable, or even tolerable. It's usually easier to pretend and go through the routine routines of daily life. But it's in the quiet moments, when darkness falls, and you beg your brain to stop so you might rest . . .
