Why must I always face being replaced? Be it as a seatmate, a lover, a girlfriend, even as a friend.

I find it difficult to face changes of sorts. I usually end up having an anxiety attack whenever something goes off the usual. But one of the most difficult, conscious change I always seem to experience is being replaced, intentionally or unintentionally.

These people don’t tell you you’re being replaced because they sometimes aren’t even aware of it. You just get this gut feeling that you are slowly being replaced until you can’t deny that fact any longer. It hurts. It hurts having to go through being replaced several times, at different occasions and different kinds. I guess this is what I get for being too attached or being easily attached to people. Or for trusting too much. Expecting too much. Loving too much.

A man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me
Chase the shadows away.
