i never wanted to be angry, i just wanted to be understood. i don't want to be defined by the moments when i raised my voice or let my emotions overflow. because that's not who i truly am. deep down, i was only hoping someone would care enough to listen and understand where i was coming from. i never wanted fights, distance, or constant misunderstandings. i just wanted to feel heard without repeating myself again and again. i wanted someone to look beyond my anger and notice the pain behind it. because sometimes, anger is only pain that stayed silent for too long.
