Unnecessary Feeling


It's an unnecessary feeling.

The feeling that clogs the brain.

The body is filled to the brim with exhaustion.

Every movement becomes tiresome.

The face exudes an uneasiness.

Nothing is worth it for a moment.

Then, for several moments.

Soon the moments turn into hours.

Still, no one notices.

Well, they do, but they don't care.

They know it's unnecessary.

It's stupid that anyone feels this way.

It's a feeling that shouldn't exist.

It does exist.

It existed inside someone for so long.

So long that the feeling turned monotonous.

It was the only feeling that the someone felt.

The feeling and the person were committed.

They were in a committed relationship with each other.

When the feeling became worse, the relationship grew.

With the growth came self abuse and self hatred.

Still, no one noticed.

As the feeling stayed, it became more unnecessary.

The more unnecessary it was, the less people cared.

That was the feeling's goal.

The feeling's purpose was to push everyone away.

Once it succeeded, that was the end.

The feeling went away.

The relationship with the feeling went away.

Everyone went away.

I went away.
