I love how, while reading this, I get 2 kinds of vibes... one being the 'brave front' that is expressed by the words (ex. "it doesn't hurt me") and the other being the 'bitter-sweet vulnerability' betrayed by the repetitions and the 'questioning format' which lead the reader to believe that perhaps the person is trying to convince *himself* more than anybody else...
and it's the contradictory nature of these 2 aspects that makes it so captivating to read.
Also, the song-like format gives it a haunting tone which just wraps the whole thing up together.

...or at least this is my view and interpretation!
thanks for sharing, and I hope you can keep on looking at the bright side of things no matter what =)
