you have no idea how heavy it feels when someone misunderstands you and you're unable to tell them that it's not like how they think it is. it's like you're carrying this big weight inside your chest, wanting to explain, wanting to clear things up, but the words just don't come out right. so they keep believing the wrong story about you. and you just sit there, holding all of it inside, wishing they could see through your heart without you saying anything. you wish someone would just understand you without needing every detail explained. but no matter what you say, they've already decided how they see it. it hurts because you know your heart, you know your truth, but it gets lost in the way they choose to hear you. and sometimes you just stay quiet, because explaining over and over feels useless, and silence feels safer, even though it eats you up inside.
