If you only knew how heavy everything felt on me how hard it was to carry all of this pain by myself I’ve tried so many times to stay strong and hoped that the pain would go away one day, but it didn’t. I kept it all inside, not wanting to bother or burden anyone. I thought that if I waited a little bit longer, things would get better but they didn’t. The weight discontinues grow growing heavier. The silences got so much louder, and I felt even more alone. I just needed someone who could see my pain without the long words who reminded me I didn’t have to be strong.
