I know you think no one notices...but I do.
I see that there was once a spark in those eyes of yours. They have seen so much pain. I can tell that so many stories hide behind those tired eyes.
I see that you are exhausted, and not in the - I want to lay down and go to sleep kind of tired. The exhaustion of many hidden tears, and days full of anxiety.
You’re tired from fighting to get through it all. You have fought so damn hard and I am so proud of you!
You hold a lot back. You keep your mouth shut just to avoid conflict, but its okay to stand up for yourself once in a while.
You try so hard to come off as a hard shell, but I see so much light within you. It radiates from you even though you might try to dim it to protect yourself, I can still see it.
I know you feel drained from life and you feel lost and stuck. You don’t even know what you are doing anymore. I know you feel that way. I can see it.
I know the optimistic, happy girl you are is still inside you, she's just been weighted down over the years from all that weight she's been carrying.
I promise that weight will be lifted and everything will fall into place.
