There is no need to cry. For every thing that happens, it happens for a reason. So, pick your head up because your tiara is falling.

lost in those shadows
are things that we all want to forget about
things that don't make us but
rather they break us apart. Things that can break someone up into tiny little pieces , like when a piece of glass shatters all over the place.
The struggle not to fall in that trap again but we all have that temptation that calls us.
That feeling we get when we want to have that "good" feeling back but we know it's the wrong thing to do.
So, I'm asking you,
Do we continue to do it anyway?
Do we do it just for the quick high that we love so much?
Or do we just leave it be?
