Being broken Quote by Anonymous
“You smile, but you're not really happy. You ask, but you don't want to know. You talk, but aren't saying anything. You laugh, but you don't find it funny. You cry, but it doesn't even help. You wake up, but you're not really alive. You sleep, but you aren't resting. You are alive, but you're not really living.”
