you can choke down the tears
straighten out your face
hold your chest up and look forward…
but you can’t stop one thing:
thumpthump thumpthump thumpthump
that heart beating out of your chest. pumping frantically. adrenaline rushing. skin tingling. sweat forming. heat. anxiety.
you can try to hold back in all appearances but that heart betrays your true feelings. your insecurities. your dread.
that heart that keeps drumming up more and more adrenaline until the tears burst out and you crumble and show that overwhelming hopelessness that’s been building inside you.
but i am still happy. I have to be.

That was strangely apt. Are you Icelandic pluto?
No, but I would definitely like to visit Iceland one day.
I think their national animal is Bjork. i’d like to go. they have nice accents, but i guess to them that is just their voice
Who could blame them? Bjork is the best female singer of all time.
This was very enjoyable for me to read to myself a few times. ^_^
