I carry pain I can't say out loud. Something is wrong with this world. People hurt each other and act like it's normal. They make you feel crazy for caring. I see people around me—broken, lonely, angry—but we all pretend we're okay. We're all dying inside but nobody says it. "Humanity is crying greatly—stand beside them as a human being." You are not alone in your pain. But you don't have to turn it into a lesson for others.
