shattered souls

vii.

she tells others to stay strong

when she can't tell herself the same

she helps others to swim

when she is drowning herself

she makes others smile

when she just fakes her own

she makes people feel better

when all she wants is an escape

from the dreaded world

so, darling, don't ever think you know someone so well

it's usually just a facade

look beyond that

and you can save someone you love

because if you wait too long,

the next thing you know is that

they are already gone.

//

thoughts from a late night; to all of you, you are worthy of happiness and no one else is to tell you otherwise.
