If I knew then that feelings fade...

If I knew then that complications make me smarter....

If I knew then that pain and suffering are necessary and natural....

If I knew then that those who don't make me matter, actually don't matter....

If I knew then that life is precious more than the temporary pain that I have felt...

I wouldn't have to hate myself.

I wouldn't have to degrade myself just to impress them.

I wouldn't have to force a smile everyday just to show them I'm okay.

I wouldn't have to see my cold body hanging above me.
