Cold on the outside but warm on the inside
Emotionless are the most emotional
Emotions are kept inside
Put others feelings before their own
Care but don't want it to be shown
Smile only in safe spaces
Most time it's a stone-cold face
Thoughts in different places
Being dead to keep alive
Learned how not to cry
And show no fear
Pain kept inside
Along with love
Struggles untold
No emotions
That how one survive

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Stoics, very hard to read...makes me uncomfortable, I need to read emotions.
Oh wow. This is one of your most deliciously striking piece. One of your rawest piece, that speaks to us in a language we can say we relate to. I relate with the feeling of needing to be emotionless in order to survive. So I feel you and this piece is amazing. But that second line, had me in a choke hold. Written in such a unique way to hide a broader meaning in a memorable way. Nice choice there.
You've really captured the quiet strength behind a stone face.
Painfully true and very striking.
nice
