You're not alone

A long time ago, I learned to be
b
r
o
k
e
n 
and watch the days slide by. 
Every night I cried, knowing I was hiding. 
Please don't hide.

You have a voice, no matter what. 

You are important, no matter what. 

You have a choice, no matter what. 

Please don't hide the cracks that you modge-podged over so many years ago.
Too much glue can make cracks even wider, like ice inside of stone. 

So please don't gloss over it now, 
stand tall even when it's hard. 
And if you can't, that's ok. 
Just know - you aren't alone.
