There are volcanoes under your skin erupting in secret and sill, you find the courage to look someone in the eyes and say ‘I’m fine.’ Even when the lava is filling your lungs. Even when the searing pain threatens to destroy your heart. Even when it escapes your eyes in the form of hot tears that you hide.

You are so brave in your survival living with this excruciating pain, even if the world will never know. I hope you find the happiness and peace that you are owed.
