❝How naive of me
To think that the Devil would show up
With demons and horns
And everything opposite of joy
.
He being the deceiver he is
Had the most beautiful eyes
And everything which convinced me
I'm home ❞
|| welcome...
never spoke my heart out never brought my problems to anyone never complained for being mistreated never lashed out thinking i have the right to hurt
and you ended up assuming i've got it easy
honey, my heart was in a million pieces when i was acting foolish and making you laugh
my soul was crumbled down to the pit when i was finding solutions of your problems
my shards were nowhere to be found when i was looking for ways to help you out
my existence had no meaning when i was telling you, "you matter"
only the darkness of my room saw me broken only the pages of my notebook heard my sobs only the pillows of my bed felt my tears
yet you assumed that i've got it easy
but you weren't there
you weren't there when i tried to pick up my broken pieces and all they did was cut through my fingers
you weren't there when i hugged myself and said, "it's okay"
you weren't there everytime i made the decision to stay quiet and hide it from you
you weren't there when i was alone, having a mental breakdown with the world thinking that my life is the best
you definitely weren't there when i forgave myself for the mistakes you made
and you still aren't here when i am writing this and reminding myself day and night
that i haven't got it easy
but i've got resilience and i've got a savior

I personally don't think that this quote means any kind of comparison between people's pain. It just says that those who keep silent are hurting more because keeping it to yourself makes it more painful.
