Sometimes it just hurts. Sometimes a single word has the power to tear you to shreds for absolutely no good reason. And there is no explanation, no reason and no rhyme. This is pain.
Welcome to emotion.
It occasionally happens where you know that if you hear one more word, you will crumble. You have to sit back for minutes to let the searing pain pass before you can respond. And even then, you can barely manage.
When tears start leaving their trails on your cheeks and won't stop, when searing agony runs through every muscle of your body, you are left powerless. Powerless against emotion, powerless against yourself, powerless against the pain.
Sometimes it just hurts. Sometimes you have no idea why. And there is a certain core in all of it, in all the pain, the agony, that finally strikes a chord that needed to be struck.
Sometimes hurt does that. It reveals the deepest and most terrible secrets that we pretend even to ourselves to not know. Until we can't pretend anymore.
Bitterness has its virtues as well.
