"I don't know what's wrong with me anymore.
Every time I breathe, it feels like something inside me cracks a little more.
I keep telling myself I'm fine, that no one needs to worry, that I can hold it together...
but I can't.
I see the fire every time I close my eyes.
I hear their voices in the quiet.
I feel the weight of everything I couldn't save.
And I smile. I joke. I pretend.
Because if they knew what I really am underneath... they'd run.
They'd see the scars, the fear, the shaking, the part of me that never healed.
They'd see the monster I'm terrified I've become.
I don't want to break again.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
I don't want to be this thing that fear built out of me.
But I can't escape it.
It's inside me.
It's always been inside me.
And I don't know how much longer I can keep it quiet."
