Being broken Quote by Anonymous
“Hard isn't it? Trying to stay strong for everyone around you, with a pasted on smile that quickly goes away when you're alone. I know it's tough trying to kill something that's on the inside, that eats you alive, and there's nothing you can do about it. No matter how hard you try, it just doesn't go away. I know it ain't easy, but I know things will get better.”
