“You tell me I am strong and brave. Tell me nothing could ever shake or break me. Nothing could ever take my spirits, and I smile at you to prove you right. You didn't see inside me, so it's best to keep it that way. I show few people genuine feelings, and even fewer my thoughts. You could look at me and say, 'She's fine. Let it go.' And I would probably wave and maybe even laugh. But I am still human. I still have feelings and a past, but I've buried it all too deep to cry over it now. Besides, crying never did anyone any good. So if I lost someone now, you could take a picture of me and I'd smile. But darling, I am irreparably broken, and I continue to fall apart. But you just keep believing I'm strong, because that is what I'll use when I go back to the battle field of life again; I'll tell myself to believe that I'm strong, remain that way, and I will do my best not to let you down.” LoveTruthStrengthBattle Author:Lillian Michelle Frazier
“If you sit in the darkness, nobody can see the tears stripping away at your bright smile. They won't even know you're there, and even if they did they would ignore you, because who cares, my love? If it does not affect us, then why should we do anything? It'd be just as easy not to. Well, sweet, if someone sticks a knife in your back, you are going to want someone to pull it out, and bandage it, right? You and I must be the ones to pull them out and bandage them up. And, sweet, we must do it for each other as well, because I'd sooner go down than let someone who does not care pull out the thorns. And because I am sure that you wouldn't like a heart breaker coming and pulling off the weight from your shoulders, because they will only give back a heavier load. If you sit in the darkness, no-one can see the tears stripping away at your smile... Except for me.” LoveDarknessTearsCaringSmilesBack StabbersWeight On Your Shoulders Author:Lillian Michelle Frazier
