Bits And Pieces

'Stay strong'

'Stay strong'

I don't think everyone realizes how hard it actually is.

How do you stay strong?

When you're breaking under the pressure.

When you're constantly judged.

When all you notice are your flaws.

When you're thoughts scream out against you.

When you lose everything.

You try to hold yourself together

for their sake.

So everyone thinks you're fine

when in reality

you're broken beyond repair.

You do things you said you never would

Then you lie about it

You're ashamed

But you can't stop

Because it's an addiction

It's a weakness

It's your fatal flaw

But nobody sees

And nobody knows

Until it's too late.

They say 'stay strong' to encourage you

But they don't realize it has little to no effect

Sometimes it does though

Because you realize how it will effect the others

They'll feel so disappointed

That they never noticed

That they can't help you

All because you are broken

Far beyond repair.
