There is only so much I can take. Usually my tolerance level is wider than the world, but when I'm sick, it's barely the size of a pea. I wish I could scream at you to stop torturing me, because I hate how the smell sears through my nose, how it clouds my thinking and makes it hard to breathe. Usually it's okay. But not when I'm sick. Please. Not when I have a deadline to meet and I just wish to get it over and done with, not when my head is pounding, not when I asked you to stop it yet you come out with a second stick, as if determined to sicken me. I don't know if you know that I won't scream. I can't scream.
I hate confrontations, because the only way I fight for me is through crying.
