I have always viewed the display of emotions as a form of vulnerability.

To grant someone the knowledge that they have the ability to alter your mood is something i have always tried to shun away from because it puts them in the position of power to choose who i am to be. They would be in control.
And i detest being controlled.
This inability to open up and believe that they would not use it agaisnt me is the only way i can ensure that people cannot define who i am as a person.
Call it paranoia but waking up finding myself amidst the depths of the chilling darkness with nothing but the warmth of tears to remind myself of my sanity is what makes me fear sleep. Fear trust. Fear people.

P.S. Credits to tumblr for the pic. i do not own it.
