You Don'T Understand

I don’t think you will ever understand. I see that you want to and I try, but even though I am not broken I wouldn’t want to lie. When I tell the truth people don’t always notice and then when I don’t no one seems to care. I have so many problems, but somehow I make my life seem perfect. It’s not. My life will never be perfect and neither will I. My past has flaws beyond comparison. I must stay positive because I refuse to lose my will to accomplish. I struggle to express my emotions because I don’t have time. They all go into the little box in the back of my mind and then all come out at once. My emotional outbursts confuse me because I can rarely explain why I’m upset, but then I realize that I have been detaching myself from the world for far too long. Sometimes I feel like I don’t care, but then other times I feel like I would never give up a chance to help someone. I guess it’s because I confuse myself that I think no one else will ever understand me.

Can definitely relate to these sentiments, Grace. I like your raw, honest heart. An open heart is not necessarily a vulnerable one. Keep writing down those inner thoughts! It can be healing and lead to new discoveries about ourselves. Always, Laura
