Sometimes I think if I pretend hard enough all the pain will just go away.

Everything has been awful for so long.

And still things have been so much better than they have ever been before.

But i still have bad days.

I think it might be getting bad again.

But there are good periods in between.  I want to let people in.

More than I have.

I tell just one person everything.

But i struggle to tell anyone else about the worst parts of me.

The parts i can't even write down, for fear that they will come true.

I'm not sure what to do about it.

But i wish i could just close my eyes and pretend it all doesn't exist.
