drowning in my thoughts.

unlocked.

Here, take it. Take the key. Go open the door to my deepest darkest thoughts, the secrets I've never shared to the world, and the devils I fought all on my own. But beware most don't come back the same. You won't be able to forget all that my heart keeps locked up. You'll be terrified of how much my smile can hide. You won't know how to cope with the weight of my secrets on your shoulders. You'll wonder how I do this, how I wake up every day and put a smile on my face. It's hard, but it's not impossible. I do it so that I don't get asked "what's wrong?" or "can I do anything to help?" I don't have the answers to those questions. I don't know what is wrong with me, or what anyone could possibly do that would help me. I'm slowly learning how to conquer my demons. I'm getting stronger. Not physically, but mentally. And soon I'll be happy again. Soon I will be able to say that I defeated the monsters that were shattering my heart. And I will love my scars just like the true smile on my face, because they are proof that I survived.
