'You have fallen, now it's time to rise' I remind this to myself again and again. My heart aches but still I smile and I go back to the mainstream though I still have not healed. Shutting ourselves up when we breakdown doesn't help, doesn't heal, rather deepens wounds. I know hiding doesn't help at all, thus I face things, I never hide. They ask me how am I so strong, I remember then the innumerable pains I've taken, and fire upon fire that have burned me, and stabs upon stabs, but I've face it all alone. answer them finally, 'I teach myself to face things myself'. I see in this broken mirror my reflection as broken as my heart. Though I'm not still healed I face things, I don't hide. I teach myself to face things myself. I have no shoulder to cry upon nor anyone to say
