I see you there. I see the sufferings you try to hide and smile through. I see how you try to shine through the darkness surrounding your soul. You let your own pain and hurt kill you from the inside while trying to heal someone else and be happy for them. I notice how you believe in love yet you avoid it because you don't think you have the strength to go through heart break.
The people around may forget that you're in agony but dear your spirit dims and I see it. I see how you'll laugh a bit louder when you want to stay silent, smile when you don't want to, try to portray your joy even when you're breaking inside. I'll notice the way you tug your sleeves slightly, how you'll move your arms with every word you say so that no one can gaze long enough to find the scars.
Your thoughts haunt you, the silence drives you insane. You hold your fears by chains and cuffs, trying to overpower them while they're draining you with every passing second. You push your limits, standing tall with every ounce of courage you can muster. I know it is difficult but the warrior you have become is amazing, it's beautiful beyond words. You may not win every battle you face but believe in yourself to win the war; to be the regal fighter who plants her flag into the earth. The human who's tomb will be a reminder for the ones after her as an image of inspiration.Be flawed, be brave, some days may be harder but darling, be you.
