I’d break just like dynamite
I’d scream like I was on fire
I’d hurt everyone I love
The guilt would tear me apart
And now I’m screaming in silence
And now I’m sitting there shaking
Prechorus
Everyone blamed me for exploding
Bottling up everything inside
Everyone hates when I get angry
Now I’ve learned to only hate my—
Self
Cause—
Can’t—
You—
See
Chorus
’Cause now I’m imploding, can’t you see I’m so broken
A million times I screamed your name
The glass that holds me is splintering
And now
And now
I’m bleeding
Verse 2
My thoughts are laced with poison
But I only wanna give it to myself
My new perfect way of coping
Is directing my anger to myself
And now I’m crying but alone
And now I wish you all well
Prechorus
Everyone blamed me for exploding
Bottling up everything inside
Everyone hates when I get angry
Now I’ve learned to only hate my—
Self
Cause—
Can’t—
You—
See
Chorus
’Cause now I’m imploding, can’t you see I’m so broken
A million times I screamed your name
The glass that holds me is splintering
And now
And now
I’m bleeding





yh dysautonomia totally makes sense with all u’ve been describing. but im just sayin that may be the cause, but not eating enough can still make things way worse yk? Ur body literally needs fuel to fight this stuff.

My mom literally was writing a post about how it was so hard with my symptoms and not doing stuff but things are better now and yes I’ve gotten some symptoms a bit under control but still and now I’m in a good place right now and reclaiming my life and that it’s not the same but it’ll work. What the heck. No, things are not better, mentally things are a million times worse. And just because I don’t scream or cry out loud anymore she thinks my mental health is good. No I’m not exploding anymore; I’m imploding. I’m not okay, I’m faking it, I’m breaking inside now. I’m turning my anger to myself now. She doesn’t get it. She never will.

But ava, tht quiet kind of hurting? It’s the most dangerous kind. And I’m begging u, don’t keep carrying it like this. just bc u’re quiet now doesn’t mean u’re okay. Just bc ur pain is hidden doesn’t mean it isn’t serious.
I know it’s terrifying, but Ava pls go up to ur mum. Tell her anywy even if u think she won’t get it. Even if it feels like u’ll fall apart trying to explain. Go up to her and look her in the eye and say “I’m not okay! I’m still not okay! I’ve just gotten better at hiding it. And I need help pls.” That one sentence could change everything.
Bc mayb she doesn’t see it yet. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care. Sometimes ppl just don’t realise wht’s behind the quiet. But if u tell her the truth, not what u think she wants to hear, but the truth, she might finally see it. She might finally fight for u the way u’ve been fighting silently all this time.
Also the way u’re feeling now? It won’t last forever, even if ur brain swears it will. There’s more 4 u. More good days. more healing. More ppl who will actually see u. But u’ve gotta take that step! Please!
Dont think ur doin this bc u’re giving up or smth, but becuse u’re fighting to stay!
Girl this aint weakness or anythin. U r so strong for still being here, for still breathing through this weight. But u don’t have to do this alone anymore. U rlly shouldnt
There is more than jus pain. But u have to let someone into the dark with u. Let them care. Let them help u find ur way back out. Pleass. 💗
Pls try bc the right words to the right person at right time, they cn might change EVERYTTHING. So sttart with ur mum. Even if ur voice shakes. Even if you cry. Just say it. U have to be heard.


and then we're talking about something and it was causing me a lot ot anxiety and making me mad and i was getting a bit upset not much and then my sister was mad and then I was so guilty I scratched myself... my mom saw and now she's crying and I feel so guilty



and still tht’s not care. That’s harm, even if they don’t realise it.
And the thing tht happened with ur mom? Ik that guilt is crushing u. But pls hear this, u didn’t hurt her. u showed her u’re hurting. That’s not the same thing. Her tears don’t mean u’ve failed her or smth, they mean she finally saw something real, smth she can’t ignore.
So heres wht u do:
U tell the truth. Again and again, if u hv to. Not just the tears or the silence or scratchin, but the ACTUAL truth.
u tell ur mum “I’m not safe mentally. I need real support. I need to talk to someone who isn’t u. I need to be allowed to speak at my own appointments. I need my privacy, or I’ll break even more.”
And even if ur parents won’t listen right now, plssss don’t stop talking. Keep telling someone. someone who’s trained to actually help?
And if they blame Goodreads say this: “This is where I feel seen. This is where I’ve found ppl who listen.”
U need this space and help ava. This is ur life. This is ur brain. This is ur pain. and it all matters.



So when I wrote that I was mad and upset but I’ve realized my parents care about me a lot and I just wasn’t asking for help I guess… so I was wrong
