I hope somebody would notice.
                              I hope somebody would notice that behind my bright smile, there lays an excruciating pain I'm battling with every single day.
                              I hope somebody would notice that behind my boisterous laughter, there lays sleepless nights, tears pouring, chest heaving, loneliness taking over.
                              I hope somebody would notice that behind my joy, there lays extreme sadness I'm struggling on fighting.
                              I hope somebody would notice that the people who appear strong, are the ones who really aren't.
                              I hope somebody would notice.

                              hello, lovelies. i've been very inactive lately, but i'm back, and i'll try to post more stuff now that i'm here. c:
                              btw, this short poem is for those who are battling anxiety & depression; those who appear fine and happy each day when deep down, they're not. if you're battling any of these, please remember that you're not alone & reach out if you must. and if you have anyone close to your heart whom you feel is going through a rough time, be sensitive with your words and encourage them to keep going.
                              have a good day/night.
