"Everyone is always going through tough things, the irony in it is that everyone thinks what they're going through is just as hard as what you are. Life isn't about surviving this, it's about understanding this. "

the girl that just
wanted to be alone,
finally
breakouts of
her shell.
all the feelings inside
of her
are once
spilled
but bottled up again, slowly
gaining her
confidence
her shell
is put back together
she is forever
hidden
broken apart
inside
torn to shreds on the
outside
all alone, scared and
pained
threated to
break loose
again

what inspired me to write this poem was my friend that was a backstabber, where i was starting to come out of my shell and she put me right back into it.
