Let's spare everyone's feelings today. Let's joke around…
“Let's spare everyone's feelings today. Let's joke around, laugh, smile, and just have a good time...well pretend. Hell you may even begin to believe it's real. I know the painful truth though. How about sending smiley face text messages while your crying? That should make them believe you are alright. You could tell them you are hyper and happy. How do you prove that? They say it's all just a phase. It's all hormones and with time it will pass. I'll find someone better right? Don't forget that smile. No matter how bad you want to cry, laugh instead. No matter how bad you want to bleed, keep it to yourself. No matter how bad you want to end it all, don't show your true colors. Stay strong, it's just a normal day for them. The least you could do is spare their feelings. Haven't I done enough? Isn't my turn for help? Nope guess not, they aren't satisfied yet, keep going. Good luck. I'll be here tonight to comfort you when you cry. I understand you. I'll help, I always do. ~Your Blade”
