I don't know how to be strong anymore. I'm trying to hold myself together for my friends but I just can't do it anymore. I feel like I've been torn to pieces. I don't know how to deal with this. I can't do this anymore.

There's a tightness in my chest that won't go away. It just aches and throbs. I feel like I can't breathe and no one has noticed yet.

I sit here and no one sees that I'm breaking down on the inside. My insecurities and fears are eating me alive and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
