Mar 2018
Fireworks, colour, explosions and beauty
The sunrise, warm days on the beach and hugs that make you feel like nobody can ever hurt you as long as she's around
Summer BBQ's and lazy days filled with happiness and lemon meringue
Coffee curls, tiny whirls and a smile that makes your heart sing
Excited chatter, crazy obsessions and a laugh that makes you want to laugh, even if you don't know or understand what's funny
Tiny dogs, crazy flavoured-ice cream and long journeys filled with karaoke sing-alongs to cheesy hits
Extreme workouts, movie nights and love for superheroes nobody's ever heard of
Aesthetic photos, intense hikes and knowledge about anything and everything
Long phone calls, deep conversations and a voice filled with so much love

To her friends, her family and the rest of the world, she's their superhero, flawless and incredible. Her family are proud of her and the world aspires to be like her.

But there's another side, a dark side that nobody sees and it's not the good kind.

Broken beams, empty pill bottles and angry scars
Late night rants, silent tears and screams for help that nobody hears
Quiet days filled with loneliness and self loathing whilst the world spins around her
Running miles when it's tipping down to escape the thoughts consuming her mind
Thoughts of destruction, of despair, of disappointment, feeling like she's not good enough for anyone
Clinging on to tiny shreds of hope that things will get better even though it's unlikely
Sporadic breakdowns in the middle of the night when nobody can hear her

Isn't it funny how she bottles this? Trying to be that girl that everyone loves when secretly, she's as fragile as a vase that could crack any minute.

It's funny how secrets change a person.
It's funny how secrets hide the truth
