“Treat Us Like We Can’t Erupt”

They think I’m being brash, but in actuality all of the emotions I’ve bottled up will explode any minute now — breaching emotional aqueducts.
They think that I can easily see things the way they see them.
They believe that I’m incapable of self destructing, that my legs won’t give out, that my heart won’t tell me that it can’t deal…
They don’t believe that I can reach a breaking point.
They must not believe that I am human.
