You feel like you’re drowning but there’s no one around to hear your cries for help.

You feel like you’re crying, but no tears fall from your face. You continue on with a smile on your face.

You feel your heart shatter, feel it break into shards of glass in your chest. You wonder why. You ask your mom, ask her if something’s wrong with you. Why does it hurt? She smiles at you and says everything will be okay.
