intelligence

the thing with intelligence is
you hold power
you pay the price
for you can see the depth
you see what goes wrong
and the beauty of what seems ugly at first
you know how to heal yourself
and intellectualize it
and you feel the downside:
self-destruction on the highest of levels
and fear that the power you hold
can’t be controlled
with the force it needs
you fear to hurt other people
and end up hurting yourself anyways

- please don’t isolate yourself because of this fear
