Before I Met Him

Have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough? Like…you stay up for hours and hours thinking what else could possibly go wrong. You dread going to school everyday, wishing that you could just hide under your bed covers listening to music for all eternity.

You feel dead.

You feel as if the world is against you.

You feel alone and misunderstood.

But no one notices. Not even the bag under your eyes can give away your darkness.

All you know is that if you keep that smile on your face, everything will be okay.

You know how I know? It’s because that was me at one point. I’ve never felt more vulnerable in my life. But…that was before I met him.
