the hardest part is when you can't control your emotions anymore. you just suddenly cry and breakdown

get through today

"i will be okay i just have to get through today" i recite this in the mirror every day while i paint a smile on my face put my mask into place and resist the urge to wail again you are no longer here to carry me through this hell and i no longer have the will to crawl out myself you were my wings and i soared through the highest skies now loss is an unbearable weight and i drown in the darkest waters it's funny how fast things can change how you can go from flying to drowning from living to barely surviving from joy to war from dancing to bleeding out on the floor how fast a life can be taken for no clear reason but it's okay i am okay i just have to get through today ~ nyx
