I know myself more than one could ever know me, I guess.

When it comes to my silly and childish mistakes, I am certainly out of control. But surely this is true. If I'm the one who is at fault, I'll be the one to bend my knees upon you and ask for forgiveness. I'm hu,ble when I know I'm the one who's wrong. But the worst part of myself which I can never change, is when I know that I didn't do anything wrong yet I was blamed for everything. I hate the way things go when it is the other one's fault yet I should be the one to say sorry. Yes, I am a woman with a VERY HIGH pride.

Until now? No. My day was sort of ruined already. And the words crumpled my heart into pieces. I'm afraid I might break down later. I'm afraid my pride would kill me. I'm afraid to lose these people.. Yet I still don't know where to start. The thorns are already in my heart, they are starting to bleed. Now I know, it hurts. But the bleeding doesn't take away the hurt.

Stupid.
