They really don't know

Lord,

I didn't know how much it would hurt, but it feels like they thrust a dagger into my heart. They have no idea what their words did to me...how attacked I felt...how fragile I really am. I have to forgive them. They didn't know. How could they?

No one would understand. No one...except for You and me...so I can't expect anyone to be extra-careful with me. People are people, and they'll say whatever they feel or think...not realizing how much damage they can do in a minute's time.

It feels like I'm holding in a fountain of tears. How much longer can I keep myself from breaking?
