When people come to truths
they dont want to deal with,
they close their eyes.
Hoping that the darkness
will cover and hide everything.
It isn't easy. It isn't worth it.
It is painful.
And hope is a torture sometimes.
And though they are pretending
they are okay,
reality is they are dead inside
when they are smiling.
And with every pain they feel,
they realize they are alive
and then they choose to die inside
over and over again.
