I'm Fine
I joke too much for someone who is this tired.
I say "I'm fine" with the kind of smile people mistake for healing.
But the truth is-
if someone looked at me gently enough, long enough, they would notice how hard I've been fighting
' not to fall apart in public.
And if they held me without asking me to stay strong, every version of me that survived silently would finally start screaming.
Not from weakness.
From the unbearable exhaustion of being everyone's safe place while quietly having none of my own.
