Pain is breathing
Pain is like breathing.
When pain hits you in the heart, it hurts.
Breathing can be painful too.
Imagine taking your last breath and all you can think of is that this is it. I'm dying.
Pain can hurt you. Breathing can't.
Sometimes you think" I give up on life" and that "It's pointless" but you know your wrong.
Pain is more than that. Pain is fake friends treating you like you don't belong here. Pain is your mother's disappointment. Pain is your mind, telling you things you can't do anymore.
Pain is hurting yourself to make yourself feel better about what you did.
Breathing is a lot of those things.
It just hurts more when you see it happening.
