I understand the pain you go through.
I understand the hurt they have caused you.
I understand burying yourself in pain relievers to get rid of this mental and emotional pain.
I understand drowning yourself in alcohol to forget the harsh memories that seem to be embedded in your head.
I understand the pacing when your talking on the phone so you don't explode, So you can contain yourself.
I understand the want to have physical pain so you don't have to bare the emotional pain.
I understand starving yourself so you don't gain weight or just simply because you don't feel like it.
I understand listening to music that you can relate to so you don't feel alone anymore.
I understand piling on work and activities just so you don't have the slightest chance of getting lost in your terrible terrible thoughts again.
I understand the need to have someone around so you don't get lost in your mind, trapped in your thoughts, not able to escape the wrath of your inner demons.
I understand not trying new things so people don't have anything to make fun of you for.
I understand feeling alone.
I understand feeling.
I understand.
I.
