Will I ever?
The pain of pretending everything is okay.
What if I ruin everything?
What if I can never say what I truly want to?
I wish, just for once, that someone could teach me how to let it all out.
When I hold back the words I want to say,
My insides cry and scream.
I feel like shouting, pulling my hair out,
But on the outside?
I’m smiling, pretending as if my world isn’t falling apart.
Why can’t I? Will I ever?
Will I ever become the person I want to be?
Will I ever show how I truly feel?
Will I ever, for once, not care about hurting the person in front of me?

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.
