I'm learning about wars of attrition, how to deal with ultimatums, political/organizational games, and business ettiquette.

Interesting stuff.. so basically, its best to avoid a conflict in the first place, but if you have to be in one, pay attention to what the battle is costing you.

I wish I could open up my ribcage, and gently take my heart out, and comfort it.
Its so sad and small and nervous.. It just wants love and acceptance.
I wish I could be the one to love and accept my heart.
but my heart is wrong. I cant listen to it.
I wish I could hug and warm it when its cold and scared.
I wish I could listen to my heart.

I dont want my heart to be punished for loving another person.
I dont want my heart to be called bad because whether people realize it or not, my heart is in the right place.

Is my heart being attacked? Why do I need to defend my heart?
I need to defend my heart. I need to defend my feelings. Even when they seem wrong to other people.

I dont know why I feel the way I feel, but Im sure there must be a good reason.

Ill believe in my heart, even when no one else will.

I want to let my heart feel what it feels and let it lead where it leads.
Even if my heart leads me to certain death, or into hell.

Im scared.

I wish my greatest wish was to drown in a sea of my own tears.

What Im listening to now.

Good Synthpop makes me tear up.
