I look up and see the clouds above me. I feel pain and only pain when the rain falls. It feels like acid eating at my skin.
I feel pain with every key stroke on this post. I know you don’t get it. IT ALL HURTS.
I feel pain when see my phone, a piecing pain that shoots through me for every text from my so called friends.
The fake smile I put on for the world to see pulls on my heart telling me to cry. I stay dehydrated so IÂ don’t cry so none knows.
I stay strong don’t let it show. I see the faces of my little siblings. I see them look at me happily when I get off the bus. It is the only thing holding me back from that blade cutting into my skin letting me feel a little more pain, telling me I am not empty yet.
I cry in the middle of the night and claim I am sick the next day. Clearly not dehydrated enough.
I feel half empty leaking slowly soon nothing will be left but a shell of that happy girl gone mad over night.

Stay strong and fake it until you make it. There are people that care sadly they are probably not the ones that you think are your friends. Many people are very self-centered especially during the teen years.
If you can talk to a shrink sometimes they can do some good, mine not so much.
Why don’t you feel like you don’t know how to live anymore? Being unique and standoffish isn’t something to feel bad about, it’s something to be celebrated! Just like your life, that too is something to be celebrated! I’m sure those siblings of yours more than adore you… And I dunno how home life is, but I have a hunch that your patents/ guardians do too! Why don’t you try to tell them or someone close to you in your family, how you feel? Even if its hard, every breath you take is amazing and toward a higher purpose in life. Hang on to happy memories and don’t think about the now, think about the future. The tomorrow. Because yesterday, yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future, and right now, right now is a gift… That’s why they call it the present! Keep your head up because beyond the storm in the horizon, there is sunlight prevailing through.
