i wish i knew that if i gave my heart too openly to too many people that i'd eventually be left with parts of myself missing
and that the people who took pieces of me with them when they left would discard them like they were nothing
it's not easy having everything in life appear duller, sound more clouded, feel less alive forever
things get better than your lowest point but parts of life are stripped from you and you can never get them back
the overwhelming numbness and inability to feel whole is all consuming
you try to be yourself and become the person you were meant to be, and that vulnerability is your undoing
