We're Still Figuring It Out

IV

They don't know you've been drowning. They don't know you're suffering. No one knows you're having a hard time. No one notices your sad eyes, the way you do. No one notices you're struggling. Some people have done horrible things to you yet you blame yourself without knowing that it wasn't your fault. It wasn't always your fault at all. But then again you always pick yourself up even if you already wanted to give up. You always wanted to run away from everything but you always tried to give your best to make things right. You wanted to run away from yourself but only you were there when you needed someone by your side. Maybe there are other people that will constantly tell how much they love you and that they are always there for you. Be grateful to them. But the love that you always give to yourself was incredibly amazing. You carried so many burdens. You won countless battles. You cried but then you wiped away your tears like nothing ever happened. So try to appreciate yourself. Try to love yourself even more. Because many might know you but no one understands you the way you understand yourself. 

Sometimes, you don't appreciate yourself. Sometimes, you don't understand yourself. Sometimes, you hate yourself. But most of the time, you comfort your own self. Most of the time, you wipe away your own tears. And most of the time, you always pick yourself up. Because at the end of the day when no one is around, you are always there for you. And if there is one person who truly knows you and can deeply understand you, that person is none other than you. 

From now on, try to appreciate yourself a little bit more.
