Break Up Build

If this is what it feels like to breakdown, like everything is literally crumbling on top of me and I can’t crawl through the jagged, rough rubble because it hurts so bad that just lying here helpless seems to be the only way I know. Then let me try to see what it’s like to build myself up again. To take those pieces of my crumbled self and put them back together again. At my own pace. In my own time. I will toss the pieces that no longer fit and will find the pieces of love, happiness and self respect along the way. In the end I may have some bumps, scratches and bruises but it’s better than letting it all continue to fall on me as I lay there helpless, with no way out.

Very nice piece, Ashley! I think I've siad it before but I'll say it again... The raw, blunt emotion that leaks out of every word of your writing is phenomenal. Your work is so relatable. Thank you for sharing :)
