elize's pov

✨✨✨✨✨

i ended up going to my favorite spot, singing "i can hold my breath. i can bite my tongue. i can stay awake for days. if that's what you want. be your number one," while strumming lightly.

"i can fake a smile."

"i can force a laugh." making a rueful grin at the thought. "i can dance and play the part. if that's what you ask. Give you all I am."

"i can do it. i can do it. i can do it."

"but I'm only human. and i bleed when i fall down. i'm only human. and i crash and i breakdown. your words in my head. knives in my heart you build me up and then i fall apart 'cause i'm only human." i stopped singing my heart out as my tears begin to fall. yeah. a natural reaction when you have a week of bottled up feelings. if only i could make a salad out of these mixed up emotions, that would be great.

my parents misunderstood my uproar as an act of of rebellion became my last straw when all i want is to be heard.

"hey." that brought me to a halt.
"i'd be stupid to ask if you're okay so i will not but whatever it is, just look above and you know" and now someone heard me. irony is so real. "that too, shall pass."

and i think i got a friend.
