Sometimes, I'm afraid to show the world my feelings of defeat. Sometimes, I hold back my tears because when they begin to roll down my cheek, they can be mistaken for a rainstorm. Sometimes, I refuse to let anyone hear the sound of my voice because if it cracks, it would give away my cry for help. Sometimes, I put my dark sunglasses on so that the world full of pain won't be reflected in my eyes. Sometimes, I keep my hand in my pocket so that the air filled with uncertainty won't touch my skin. But Sometimes, I put my hand out so that the soft texture of my fingertips can comfort the stiff air that surrounds me, Because sometimes, we all need a little faith.
