Why do you wear them like a hero's mark?

Can't you just overcome these obstacles? You just have to stop doubting yourself and start believing. You have potential, and you have so many people to support you. No matter what anyone else says to you, or no matter what your thoughts are telling you, you aren't lacking anything at all. You aren't lonely, and you shouldn't be degraded because you think so. You are being controlled by the manipulations of your own self and yet you still insist on tearing your own flesh. Why do you let such gore continue? Why is the colourful person that puts on a fake smile each day, rusting into dull shades of grey? All you need to do is STOP. Take control of your life, remove those lingering scars, let them heal and never return. Stop yourself from the predicaments you're about and have already encountered. Be daring, and surprise even yourself. You were given the gift of life, and now you have to stop abusing it and start using it for what it's meant to be. Going through it is hard, I know, we've all been there, done that with our own problems. But don't avoid it, fight it. Don't underestimate, don't question, and just appreciate what you have, and where you've come which is such a long way. If you think you're nothing, then I think, that that's what you'll really become, so don't do it goodness. Your intellectual thoughts and emotions simply need be changed. They need to be moved away from this emptiness filled with void. You will, see a light at the end of all of this. My thoughts have been relinquished.
