To Those Who Wonder Why I No Longer Trust:
The first time you found me, I was a little girl. You told me I could trust you and then you turned around and ruined me.  
You’re sorry because you love me. You’re sorry because you’re scared of being alone. You’re sorry for overreacting. “I just don’t want to lose you” you say.

Do you know what it is like to feel empty yet full at the same time? Know that you're blessed with life and love of others yet neglect your own Look in the mirror, can't you see?
