How can one person drain you?

It's amazing. As much as one should expect, it still happens. That one person who you think you know already keeps on pushing you to the edge and testing your patience. You should be used to it by now but you're not. Infact, you should know what to expect already yet it surprises you still. They catch you off guard and you find yourself wanting to have a running start at that edge and jumping down head first. You look at that familiar face and you think things aren't so bad. But then the mouth opens and there you are again, looking for something to shove up your ear canal just so the disappointment won't ruin your magnificent day.

This could be anyone. And we all have this one person in our lives. Some of us are lucky enough to have more than one. I have a couple.

You wonder why you surround yourself with this kind of person. But to some, there's really no easy way out. Its sort of like a choice between life and death. For you or the other person. And often times you find yourself contemplating how being eaten by worms has got to be better than this. All of a sudden, death doesn't sound too terrible instead inviting.

All you need is 3 minutes of conversation with this kind of person. Next thing you know everyone's lives are in danger just because you end up pissed off after that conversation. You're anger produces this glare that can pierce through a person's soul. You're lashing out at everybody. Wanting to kick the ass of the next person that tries to be nice to you.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. It's only 11 AM. Let's get through this together without having to rip someone else's head off.
