Tearless

 

When I cry, it is quiet, tearless

 

Almost comprehensively imperceptible

 

Just one more unanswered prayer

 

I stare straight past the wall

 

My stomach falls, my heart breaks

 

I close my eyes, but I do not sleep

 

I do not deserve rest.

It is the moment when you

It is the moment when you least feel that you deserve rest, that you both most deserve and most need it. I hope you cry and sleep. Best to you, sir.

Thank you for your kind

Thank you for your kind words. Please forgive my belated response, my meurodivergence in combination with my overly loud inner critic make it near impossible to practice self compassion.
