I sat in silence because I thought the pain would disappear on its own
rather than make it known to have people feel sorry for me
rather than having people with petty tones of careless emotion asking how I’ve been
rather than having people know that I’m weak and I fall down sometimes
I sat in silence simply hoping that one day it would all make sense and everything would change on it’s own
this lead me into being my greatest disappointment because I pretended to be someone I wasn’t for years
rather than just admitting for a moment I wasn’t okay and I needed someone
