The real pain
is when you don't know how to react anymore,
when you feel too tired to be angry,
too hurt to explain,
and too empty to cry.
It is when the things that once broke you no longer get a response because something inside you has gone numb.
You stay quiet, not because you are okay,
but because you no longer know what to say.
Your heart wants to speak,
but your mind is tired of repeating the same pain.
People think silence means healing,
but sometimes it only means exhaustion.
The real pain is when you still feel everything,
yet have no energy left to show it.
