There is so much I want to say, but I don't even know where to start. My heart feels heavy with words that never find their way out. I rehearse them in my mind a thousand times, yet when it comes to speaking, I go silent. It's not because I have nothing to say-it's because I don't even know if anyone would understand, or worse, if anyone would even care. So l swallow it all, every thought, every ache, every story that burns inside me. And maybe that's the saddest part-carrying so much inside, pretending I'm okay, while deep down I'm just waiting for someone who can hear the words I never speak.
