My child,you are broken. Unless you know that you are broken yourself,it will be severely laborious to love the broken people around you. You will be harsh and exacting towards them. But because you want others to like you,you will always attempt to hide your weaknesses from others. Let me strip away your masks,so that you may know who you really are.And when this truth sets you free,then shall you be free to genuinely love. Before this occurs,your love will be offered by the flask,not by the torrents of a river.-BoSanchez,Embraced
I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed, they will turn back in sudden disgrace. – Psalm 6:6-10
When I had my sheep, I was happy, and I made those around me happy. People saw me coming and welcomed me, he thought. But now I’m sad and alone.

And I’m going to hold on to what little I have, because I’m too insignificant to conquer the world. – Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you
You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.

The thought of my pain, my homelessness, is bitter poison. I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.
