Dying inside Quote by Aly Johnson
“I feel like I have been left hanging on a fine thread, oh so close to snapping. I feel like nobody cares that I am slowly dying inside, from all the words that you have hit me with; like a thousand knives. I feel like you led me on to believing a lie.. To thinking that you cared, that you actually meant what you said. I feel like a lonely leaf, left on the ground. Nobody wanted it. Because It wasnt like the rest. on. the. tree.”
