Why do people hide what hurts?
Don't hide it, don't feel ashamed of your hurt.
Don't suck in a deep breath and let it go if that's not what you want.
If you want to cry, kick, and scream... then do it.
And if people give you a sideways glance, blow them off.
It takes courage to show hurt, wear your bruises like medals. It shows how much you've been through, and how strong you are coming out of it.
We shouldn't have to hide our battles, we shouldn't have to hide our feelings.
It's the only thing that keeps us from being numb.
Sometimes holding it in, it makes me forget how to breathe steadily.
It's what keeps are hearts beating.
