dOn’T (aka autocorrect officially hates me with a passion)

Xiii| dOn’T LisTeN tO TheM

97; each whisper lingers in your h e a r t

v! doubting the faith, hope, dreams drilled into it

-48) each word breaks r e l a t i o n s h i p s

P. until you crumple in a quiet corner and cry with only ThEm to accompany you

66! each wail cripples your h e a r i n g

m. they ring in your ears and are all you can hear

Vi) DoN’T tALk aBOuT tHEm

74. each whisper sends h e a d s turning

N! mouths twisted in sneers, noses crinkled, eyes squinted in repulsion

-21. each word prompts another offer for h e l p

C; thrown pity like fallen petals, plucked from the rose of sympathy

16| each wail plasters another l a b e l

q. ripping your heart slowly, agonizingly piece by piece

xi; DOn’t tHinK AbOUt THem

32. each whisper h a u n t s you

t) in your dreams, in your memories, in your happiness, in you

IV. dON’t iGNorE tHeM

B) each whirl becomes u s e l e s s

3! sentenced to an escape-less, endless mental torture
