I’m trying to look strong for the sake of others around me, but even being strong has its limits. How much more do I have to smile and laugh to make it seem comvincing enough that I’m okay? How much more criticism can I swallow up and take in? How much longer do I have to hold the pain back? How much more do I have to bite my lip and look away to not be seen in such a vulnerable state? How much fucking more do I have to hear before I explode and then break down? Every single little thing has created a mess of me and I’m about to crumble. I can’t keep fighting anymore, I’m not that strong.
