When I break, I don’t scatter like shards of glass that just might be pieced back together. When I break, I burn. I burn in flames fueled by my own emotions. I burn to ashes blown away by the wind. I don’t shatter, I scatter.

In the rough dark place my mind is

I have sorrowful rains,

An occasional

Hopeful sunrise

And whirlwinds of thoughts

But finally

I had found it

My flower- managing to grow

On a concerete pavement.

But once again,

It rained.

And while it was a blessing to most

It left behind

A wet pavement and

A flower drowning in its misery.

You know how every writer has their own inspiration? You are the inspiration to my longest book. Trust me- I've been writing it since the day I was born.

It's like a kaleidoscope of regrets; oh so many, oh so same.

You said you knew her through and through,

You barely knew she lied.

Her head was high, her smile was wide,

You thought she never cried.

Smiled at all her miseries

She hid her pain- she tried.

Her happy birds once flew so high,

You barely knew they died.

No. Don't ever say that you're weak- you're one of the strongest people ever. I know you've been through a lot and I know you didn't deserve any bit of it. But look at where you are now- you've owned every situation thrown at you. And you've done it like an absolute boss. You may be stupid, foolish, disappointing, burdening, a let down, or many other lies you've fed yourself. But don't you ever, ever call yourself weak, helpless or worthless- for you're important, you have a great purpose to serve. You're one to walk out of hell with the most smug expression one can fathom instead of a sigh. You're so strong that you're here today. You're strong that you can say you're okay. You're strong to force a laugh. You're strong to fake a smile. Your facade is unfaltering. You're beautiful. And for not just overcoming your problems but conquering them, you're royalty. So keep your chin up- and take your time to truly bring yourself to do it, but smile; Because you deserve it, your Royal Highness.

All the cooked up conversations, all the comebacks that I've come up with, all the questions, all the jokes and all the puns that I've prepared- I look at you and they all turn to secrets. Only one question remains, 'Do I dare?'

Lies, they use it to cover up. I use it to never let them know, never let them see what’s under this thick sheet of confidence, never let them peep through the lies.

And life pulled me back to that familiar dark room. At first I thought it was yours, then realized it was you.

I craved open space, and even though I knew my way out, she was a maze I could never want to escape

When 'living' starts sounding like 'surviving', you know you're screwed.

Don't tell me you know me like the back of your hand. Not while you wear thick gloves to save yourself from the fatal frost bite that I am.
