To the one suffering in silence,
I see your face turning pale, dark and dull with each passing day.
I see you unable to make an eye contact with yourself for you don't feel beautiful and worthy enough now.
I see you turning your eyes back in shame.
I see you crouched into the corner of your room crying and hoping this would change, building constant walls around yourself to guard your mind and your heart from the outer world.
You just feel your world crashing down. l understand how you feel. I can hear your heart screaming to the loudest it can, although you can't hear it, I know how terrible it is.
I understand how fatal the words 'try', 'move on', 'pretend' and 'smile' are for you.
But you know what?
Loss is permanent, I won't ask you to move on, I won't ask you to try, but just take one step a day and if you don't feel like, just stop, start when you want to.
Don't be hard on yourself all the time.
Unchain your heart, feel everything, the anger, the pain, the happiness and the sadness.
This darkness will end, trust me.
Your will to live is going to help you go away from it. Suffering in silence is still not a good option, throw out your worries, fears, feelings and everything. Tell your loved ones how you feel. Because I know what suffering is.
Look yourself into the mirror, you're strong, dont listen to them. I promise you, this too shall pass.
You dont have to be like this forever.
From,
Someone like you❤️
