Sometimes you get one of those days when all you want is for everything to end. You just wish you didn't exist so you wouldn't feel all the pain, whether it's physical or emotional. When you go through that, you try to hide it from everyone around you. You wake up and throw a false smile on your face and pretend that life is good and you're looking forward to everything. When someone else is hurting you comfort them as you secretly wish to be comforted as well. Sadly you know that nobody will comfort you because nobody knows the hell you're going through. The only time you can let it out is when you're all alone. In the middle of the night, behind closed doors, lying awake at night. As you lie there you begin to think and reminisce before you start to cry. Soon enough you find yourself gasping for breath as you ball your eyes, breaking down completely. You're so vulnerable and hidden. Throughout the day, you're so strong and joyous, at least to others. At night, when you're alone, you are a mess of pain and sorrow. Your walls crumble and you lose it. You let it flood out. But sadly, there is no letting it all out. Every day you hide it, you are filled more and more with so much pain. All you wish is to let is out in front of everyone, but you're scared. Scared to be judged and misunderstood. Scared to get hurt even more. So throughout your life, every morning as you wake up, you throw up your wall or put on your mask. Everyday is a lie, one everyone has fallen for. This is what makes you cry even more. No matter how bad it hurts or how alone you feel, just remember you're not the only person in the world who is hurting and hiding it from the world. Nobody truly understands exactly how you feel, but many try to sympathize, while few can empathize, yet none feel the same. We all hurt and grieve in different ways so we should never judge anyone else for being in pain. Just remember you're not the only one and you shouldn't do anything too harsh. Taking your life may seem like an escape from your pain, but it will inflict pain on those who care and love you. Some people are made to withstand the storm of pain that hits us, while others would fall apart if they even heard the rumble of our thunder.
