For the Girl Who Feels Like She Used to Be So Much Stronger

She feels it building behind her eyes, her heart beating louder with every second that passes, the knot in her throat grows larger and heavier. It’s a feeling she knows she has no control over when she feels a meltdown coming there’s nothing to do but let go.

Some days, she needs to fall apart before she can piece herself back together. Some days, she can feel everything building up, just waiting to explode. 

 

Then something happens. Something big or something small, it affects her all the same. It acts as a little flame that ignites a huge fire; a gust of wind that knocks over the bottle she has oh so carefully stuffed with her emotions, hiding them away to (hopefully) never be seen again.

This world makes her feel like she always has to be strong like it is bad to break down. But it is okay to need to be weak every now and then.
