"I keep it all inside because I would rather the pain destroy me, rather than everyone else."

 My name is Madison. I have a bitterness for the world, or the majority of it at least, for some unknown reason. Therapists can't help it, and neither can their damn prescriptions. 

 My friends, my family, and writing are my light at the end. Writing is my only chance to evade reality. That's all I want. To flee the dimension and disappear into a new world, the world that I read and write of.

 "You don't know pain until you are staring at yourself in the mirror with tears in your eyes, begging yourself to just hold on and stay strong. That is pain."

 "Pain changes people. It makes them trust less, overthink more, and shut people out."
