Ask The Band: Is Happiness Too Much To Ask For?

I feel terribly alone.

I feel like I’m in a black hole, like I’m caught in the undertow and everyone is a few feet away, not reaching out to help.

Hypersensitivity at its finest; any sound, color or person makes my bones ache and my head pound.

I scratch so much I bleed.

I sit in the dark staring aimlessly at nothing, my mind blank.

People suggest things. They just don’t get it.

No one does.

Hopefully, you do.

I have no friends – maybe I did it to myself. But I wouldn’t hate a hug from someone other than my mom. Often times I feel like I’m not appreciative enough of my family, but I want friends, too.

That isn’t too much to ask.

Is it?
