My father once said
that no one would take me
seriously if I didn’t
put myself on the pedestal
that was built upon
confidence and credence.I have always
been the type of girl
who would put herself
down before hanging herself
up, for everyone to see.I will continuously
tell myself that I am
not beautiful enough
to be looked at;
that I am that person
who always seems
to be looked over.I am the shadow,
that will never seem
to reach the direct sunlight.

Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.
