I Know

 

My hope is that one day I can wake up and not feel like shit. 

I wish I could wake up and be excited to start my day instead of dragging my bones and convincing myself in my head to learn how to breathe again. 

I yearn to make a difference on this cold heart of mine, and to learn how to love myself as a human again instead of an object that is so easily breakable. 

I want to be strong. As strong as my beliefs once were when I was so much younger.. the beliefs others installed in my head until I was able to form an opinion for myself. 

I can be a better person. A person who is not broken by this cruel world.

I will become who I need to be. I know I will. And I know I can.
