People look at me and think
I live a great life. They're the people that don't know me.
I live a shadowed life where you never know just quite what to expect. It's not usually for the best.
There is a lot more to me than people see. I've never figured out whether they couldn't or if they just don't want to.
There may be times where you just want to give up trying. But until you've lived in my shoes, you don't know what trying is.
It's not that I live such a horrible life but when you start to think twice about coming home, afraid of what will happen next, or even calling it home at all, you know something must be wrong.
If you ever meet someone who seems to shut the world out, open up the world to them, you just may be saving their life.
People like us don't choose lives like this, it's not a gift. It's just better to keep it from everyone else.
Our lives are like a roller coaster ride, there are spins, turns, and twists that come when you least expect it. If you catch us too off guard, w may bot be there when the ride is over.
We know that we can get out, but most of us don't have the strength nor the courage enough to do so.
The next time you see someone that seems happy one minute and depressed the next, don't feel sorry for them, we feel too sorry for ourselves, instead of ignoring us, try to get to know us.
