“I'm so afraid to speak.
So afraid to move my lips.
I'm so scared that if I move even an inch, my body will snap in half and everyone will see that my insides are made up of nothing but all the tears I'm swallowing back right now.”

“I’m beyond rational thought. Beyond words, beyond comprehensible ideas.

Nothing will ever capture the way I’m feeling right now.”
