Am I machine?

"Here's to being human
All the pain and suffering
There's beauty in the bleeding
At least you feel something"
-Three Days Grace

While I know I'm human, there are times I feel more like a machine; heartless.

Sometimes, when people yell and scream at me, I don't cry, I don't flinch, I don't care. I let them tell me how pathetic I am, how useless I am, while I stare at them blankly.

My "best friend" has been living with me for a while now, physically I'm fine, but everything mentally? Its in ruins.

She says "talk to me," so I do. Then she uses it against me or tells other people, people I don't know, people I don't trust. When she's upset, I'm try to be there, but she pushes me away, turning to everyone else except me.

I wonder if I can even feel things properly. My physical pain tolerance is high, according to my family, and so is my mental tolerance.

I have been used, played with, judged, and put down so many times, my feelings always being put third or fourth, almost never second.

I love my boyfriend, who puts me first, but I'm scared I'm more machine then human.

How do I open up when my box has no doors or windows?

“Whether I’m by your side or a 1000 miles away, I’m forever/ I’m for always”

From “God is in No Hurry” by Skye Peterson

…[are you] getting something wrong [?]
Like there’s a way you’re supposed to be that you haven’t figured out…

…either it’s all pretend, just emotions all stirred up
or there’s some deficiency in you, like you’re not spiritual enough

God is in no hurry
You can take your time
Trusting that the process is part of the design
[God] loves you where you are, not where you “should” be

You can try and force yourself into being what you’re not…
I don’t think God…has to be so hard to find
…God is in the things You Love
so linger there awhile

Following the path of What Makes You Come Alive
God loves you where you are, not where you “should” be
God is in no hurry

God loves you as you are,
not as you “should” be

Bohemian Rhepsody by Queen was the winner song of SWR 1 Hitparade this year - again.
Part of the song is stuck in my head.
"I wish I'd never be born at all".

I don't get it. For me it's a trigger - not a reason to sing along at maximum volume.

Hold That Spirit by Raye Zaragoza

Do you ever feel the bite
Of the wolves that haunt the night…
Do you ever hate the sting
Of feeling everything…
Cross your heart and hope to die
Look that monster in the eye

Hold on lightning
Don't close your eyes when it's frightening
Let that thunder grow
Through the ages
You open up all the cages and
Hold that spirit
Hold that spirit close

Have you ever felt alone
In the shadow of your home…
Have you ever felt like you
Could fall and slip right through…
Cross your heart and hope to die
Look that monster in the eye

Hold on lightning
Don't close your eyes when it's frightening
Let that thunder grow
Through the ages
You open up all the cages and
Hold that spirit
Hold that spirit close…

Cross your heart and hope to die
Look that monster in the eye
Cross your heart and hope to die
Look that monster in the eye…

Hold on lightning
Don't close your eyes when it's frightening
Let that thunder grow
Through the ages
We open up all the cages and
Hold that spirit
Hold that spirit close
Hold that spirit close

(Artwork done by my daughter) Show Me by The Cranberries

Show me to the end of the night
Show me to the end of the day
Show me to the end of tomorrow, tomorrow

Show to me the path i should take
Show to me the choice i should make
Show me direction, direction

Show me the way
Show me the way…

And if i ever lose my way
And if i ever go astray
Show me direction, direction

Take me to the darkest hour
Show to me the strength and power
Give me the key

Show me the way
Show me the way…
Today…
Today
Show me the way

Blackbird (but I mixed Lennon-McCartney’s version with Beyonce’s, just a little bit. The lyrics are almost the same for both)

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly (learn to fly, learn to fly)
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise
