Behind bullet proof glass.
I'm so sorry you had to endure that.
You're so strong for keeping strong.
Keep your head up, sweetheart. The accident wasn't your fault.
That's all I hear. They get the comfort because they cry the most, I try not to be heated about it, and I try not to sow that seed of loathing, but it's hard when no one sees how torn I am. Im having to take deep breaths and be the backbone.
Like always.
Why can't they see my pain? Why don't they care? I shrug it off. Every time someone rushes by me to comfort them, it makes me sick. It makes me want to leave.
Leave everything, leave them, leave the situation. Leave this life.
But I want because who would be there to be the never swaying support without me?
