An open letter...


Trust me,

Just please trust me

I know how it feels.

I know exactly how it feels to cry in the shower so no one can hear you,

And waiting for everyone to fall asleep so you can fall apart,

For everything to hurt so bad you just want it all to end.

I know exactly how it feels.

I know how it feels to wake up at 2am soaked in sweat from your nightmare,

And skipping class just so you can catch your breath,

For your entire world to be spinning.

I know exactly how it feels.

I know exactly how it will always feel.

 

Signed,

The girl that could have been…

Could have been so many things.

I'm like the world, I love and will provide for everyone but I'm about 23.5 degrees off my axis
