Favorite Quote:
Sometimes human places create inhuman monsters. — Stephen King


what happens when, now, every breath is a struggle?

 

every second of every minute of every day
is another reason to give up.

 

do you keep pushing?
do you hold on to the hope that things will get better?

 

or do you choose the thing that requires the most courage;
do you let go?


The author's comments:

There comes a point where everything is too much, too much yet not enough and you know you should tell someone. In fact, you want too. But who is there to tell? And even more, how can you? You’re scared because you don’t know what to say, you’re afraid of what they might say, and so you keep it all to yourself. It sits inside building and building and you just have to think to yourself, a little longer. Just hold it in a little longer and things will get better. But what if they don’t? Then what do you do?
