We’ve been fighting for so long. Every experience chipping away something from me. I don\u2019t feel the same. I’ve changed. What do I do when I look in the mirror and I’m met with a brokenness that I don\u2019t want to recognise. I have lost who I was. I’ve lost myself. Things are not how they’re supposed to be.<\/p>\n

What do I do? Who do I run to when no one sees me. I don’t recognise my own self. Who do I trust when I don\u2019t trust my own self? Doubts cloud my mind. I’m now chipping away at myself. Damaging the only shell that’s left. I’ve only got myself. No one is coming. No one can find me. They don\u2019t know. I am far from who they see. Far from who they believe. Empty. Full of life or full of strife? All I know is that I have to fight. Reach out and try to save my inner child. They need to be seen. Need to be felt. To be believed, protected and healed. A chance to live. For without them, I am nothing. It’s all meaningless. We’re worth it. Come on darling, we got this. Look up. Fix your lense. It’s time we clean up this mess.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
