Listen, sweetheart.
Put your heads up.
You don't want to let your mask fall down, do you? Smile, you little one.
Fake it until they fucking believe it. Laugh as loud as you can so they can't hear your actual sob.
Tell your friends all of your jokes and laugh and laugh and laugh until your stomach aches so you won't feel your heart cracks and cracks and cracks.

But hey, look,
your eyes has been telling you to tell them the truth.
Your mouth wants to scream.
Your mind, your feet, your red-bruised knuckles, are tired.

And that's okay.

That's okay to tell them about your demons. Tell them about those scars. Tell them you need them when it's 3 in the morning and your soul wants to escape.
Tell them you need them when it's 1 in the afternoon and your mind is somewhere else. And let them see the real you, my love.

Here, take my hand.
I know you can do this—
we can do this.

—Luar Bumi,
