I wish I could tell you what was on my mind

I wish I could share my perspectives and emotions without having to feel reprimanded or judged for feeling the way I do.

I don't want to be told to get over it.

I want to be told that I will get better.

Through it as I am, through it by becoming better.

Not over it to get better, not over it as someone else.

I was broken- shattered from the inside out.

Torn to pieces from every inch of my soul

to be glued back together from that is nearly impossible-

as tough skin does not break easily

and big hearts are never supposed to run out of love.

but I guess there will always be one thing or one person who will change you in ways that you would never think were possible.

as one light dimmed, it took time for another to illuminate

but when that light returns, it will radiate brighter than any sun, any moon and any star.

and you will thank those things, those people who took that away- for without them, they would have never ignited your fire.
