I know what it's like to feel hopeless and afraid. My heart turned pitch black and cold like the deep depths of a cave.

I know what it's like to push away the people that you love. You think that no one will understand you but in reality you really do not understand yourself.

I know what it's like to be drowning in a sea filled with doubt, sinking to the bottom hoping that someone will pull you out.

Whoever you are, you are not alone. Trust me, I know how you feel. I know what it's like to put on a smile just to mask away the tears.

We all have our demons and we all have our rainy days but always remember that the pain never stays.

So whatever you are going through, I am here to tell you, never relinquish nor surrender, be strong, stand tall, and rise up like a winner.
