To someone who's tired of trying to be okay.

You aren't perfect, nobody is.
Please do not be afraid to climb mountains
and shout how much you hate everything that's happening.
It helps a lot.
If you don't feel like smiling then please don't.
If there's already so many tears to bear
behind that sparkling eyes of yours
then please cry, you have to.
It's okay not to be okay.
You've done enough bravery so far.
I know everything ***** already.
Everything's so painful that you cannot see
even a tiny light through this dark tunnel.
I know you feel alone and lonely
and broken and helpless.
You don't have to show them you're fine because you're not.
Lastly, tell the world how broken you are.
Let them know.
It's not like being happy changes everything after all.
Be nice to yourself.
You only have you.
