Safety Pins and Handcuffs

Important life lessons... hopefully you've learned at least one, myself?  I learned an important lesson today, how life wouldn't be complete without safety pins and handcuffs.  I'm sitting here, wondering why i'm even writing a blog, wondering if anyone will ever read it.. twirling a large sized safety pin around on my tongue.  

I hope that I dont bite down, causing the clasp to open.  In such a situation I would invariably stab myself in the mouth, and yet I continue to suck, play with, and twirl this beautifully devious piece of metal.  People in my life, are like safety pins.. No I dont put all of them in my mouth to be played with.. >_>.. more like, they're a risk, a danger... yet I cannot resist.  I know that I will eventually be stabbed, that I will bleed, I can sense the pain coming, and yet I continue ignorantly.  I continue because I keep hoping that things will get better, and there will come a time that I wont get stabbed.  

This wont ever happen.. but I can still hope right?   I'm talking to someone who used to be my best friend, a man that was always there for me..  Now our conversation is filled with painful silence, an akward aura that neither of us know how to penetrate.  What do I do?  I do keep trying, keep struggling onwards, hoping things can and will get better.. or do I wait to get stabbed? 

Life, is like handcuffs.  You will eventually find yourself in a situation involving handcuffs, wheather their metaphorical or wrought of cold steel.  People, situations, things I love in this world.. they grasp me and refuse to let go.  Or maybe, I'm the one who refuses to let go.. maybe if I handcuff myself to them, they can't run away?? 

so here I am, listening to music, rambling, and wishing my brain would turn off... handcuffed with a safety pin in my mouth. 

How long until I stab myself, unable to take the pin out of my tongue?
