i just need a rest. i am so tired of everything. of every tear that falls from my eyes. of overthinking every little thing until it keeps me awake at night. i am tired of carrying so much pain. tired of pretending i'm okay when i'm not. i am tired of explaining how i feel, only to end up being misunderstood. lately, everything feels so heavy. i keep trying to stay strong, but i am exhausted. i just need a moment to rest. i just want to feel at peace, even for a little while.
