They say I'm fine, I look alright.
"She's so happy and energetic
Seems like she's never been hurt."
They're all unacquainted.
They don't see the scars engraved on my heart
Or maybe I just don't want them to see.
Once tried showing them to someone
But in the end, it resulted in the same thing,
And gave me more scars to hide.
It hurts every day knowing that I won't be the same again
but, not everyone needs to know that.
Even still, there's a small part of me that wants to scream out to the world.
A part of me wants to find people who are hurt,
Just like me.
So I write.
I write and pour my thoughts out.
It's my way of letting people know
That I've been hurt too, just like you.
In knowing that others relate with me, I feel reassured.
The world is not just full of heartless people.
It's not just those who hurt others.
There are actual humans here.
And, I now have all of you with me
I'm not alone!

Take this as the reason why I started writing :)
