Broken

  We weren't taught how to face our pain head-on. Society today wants us to shove our painful experiences aside so that we appear perfect to the outside world. They imply that to be anything less than perfect is unacceptable. If we show even the slightest hint of hurt;we're broken. Unusable. That we'll be thrown away like an old toy. 

 Yet, the things we have been forced to experience has made us stronger. What we've been through hasn't broken us. We survived. When the pain was unbearable we kept breathing. Inhale.Exhale.Inhale.Exhale. We,the people that society thinks is broken, because of our broken circumstances managed to not only survive but, to learn from our experiences and thrive.
