What if I were a Pillow ?
A pillow is just a cloth bag stuffed with feathers or other soft materials, used to support the head when lying or sleeping. Yes, it is a non-living object, but have you ever thought if you could be a pillow with feelings for maybe just one day ! Times are hard, lifes goes upside down, feeling alive sucks but the hardest one stays at the top, that is, to cry yourself to sleep. I cry myself to sleep. I cry for all the things I've lost, for the flashbacks that torment my thoughts. Crying isn’t something I do in front of people. I don’t like people seeing me cry. I don’t want them to think I’m weak or to know what triggers me. I do everything I can to just not to cry when I am around someone. But when I’m at home, confined between the walls of the room, I cry. I cry every single night until it’s about 4am and I can’t sleep anymore. When I cry it’s like I can finally let out all the feelings and the hurt that I hold inside me. I can express that safely on my own where no one can judge ...
