Lately I feel like I am only half a person. Like there is a large part of me that has been taken away and I very desperately want it back. I force myself every day to put on a brave face, smile and pretend nothing is wrong, well that brave face is weakening. I feel so alone regardless of the number of people who are around me. I am trying to push past this I just don't know how much longer this brave face is gonna last.
