Mirrored damage

     I'm listening to Northern Lights (Acoustic) by The Dangerous Summer. I've been listening to it on repeat for a couple of days now. On the way to work, after work, during time to myself, as I sleep... and I really don't know why I torture myself this way. This song has such a profound meaning to me  that I can't help but fill buckets with my tears. *Sigh* How depressing.
     I just feel like I'm on the defensive; instead of being the victim I'm the murderer. I'll plea "not guilty" even as I sit in court with my hands laden with crimson blood. Of course, I won't get away with it because my imaginary world is quite just---but that's besides the point.
     My tactics have been taught to me by people who were once of the utmost importance. I have a mirror full of the terrible things that those I loved have put me through and now, I'm using them for myself.
     But why? It's not as though I intentionally decided to be evil, it's just a way for me to defend myself from the very few insecurities I do have. Instead of trying things I run away, I say "I don't know," I hide, and cower  in fear... in fear of myself.
     I make too many mistakes and I think far too deeply, far too often. And as a result I hurt those I care about. It becomes a repeating process and at the end of the day I begin to realize that I'm breaking my own heart.
   
When will I learn?
