Her

Her

I don't want to be her. I can't be the chains that make getting out of bed a battle. I don't want to become her again, I don't want to start bottling things up and I don't want to stop fighting and being strong but not getting out of bed seems okay today and speaking seems  hard; no one will miss my voice today and not fighting for one day is alright isn't it? And being weak is okay for a day. I don't want to be her but today I am too tired to put her back in the closest full of skeletons.
