You don’t have to rise like the sun each day—
some mornings, it's enough just to open your eyes,
to sit with the silence,
to feel your heartbeat and whisper, “I’m still here.”

You are not the storm that passed,
nor the ruins it left behind.
You are the seed under the soil,
waiting for the right rain,
the quiet miracle of a soul not giving up.

Let no one shame the pace of your healing.
Let no voice drown out the hush of your trying.
Because surviving is not small.
And breathing, on hard days,
is a kind of bravery the world forgets to praise.

So rest, dreamer.
You don’t need to shine tonight.
You just need to stay—
soft, alive,
and wildly worthy of tomorrow.
You push yourself hard and grind everyday and you are doing great, but sometimes when things are overwhelming you must to take a break.
🔥 There’s a time to roar, and a time to breathe.
You can’t fight every day with your fists in the air. Some days, the boldest thing you can do is sit quietly and say,

> “Not today—but I’ll rise again soon.”

“The past is never over —
it stays with us,
like a nightmare living in the present.”
past always walk beside us.
You held my hand, taught me to stand,
With silent love, a guiding hand.
Now I look up, and call your name —
But stars just shine… they’re not the same.

Yes,
I cut deep enough
to feel alive
But never deep enough
To die
That their words make me smile
That their comments made the world seem better
That thinking of them lightened up my day
To all the cool poets on this site
When I reach out,
You grab my hand.
When I reach out,
You listen to my words.
When I reach out,
You're there.
Why pretend the trauma never happened?
Why hide the emotional scars?
Why bottle up emotional turmoil ?
For the comfort of others?
To keep family together?
To not offend anyone?
Stop thinking that hiding the truth is better than offending others with the truth ,those that retaliate are comfortable with the lies.
They are the ones that hurt you but convince you that you are the problem.
You are not the problem they are.
You are worthy of ❤️ love.

You are the happy friend.
You seek compliments but you don’t believe them.
You can’t be the messed up friend because they have it worse.
You can’t compare because they won’t see it as bad as it is.
You are the happy friend.
You are the funny friend.
You are the safe friend.
You let them vent, you let them share.
You take the burden so they don’t have to. You carry their weight-
adding to yours.
You don’t let them see.
They check in with you but you know you can’t say anything.
You can’t trust them with your feelings. They don’t need more on their plate.
They can’t handle it, but you can.
You can’t be delicate.
You can’t be hurt.
You are unbothered.
Because you are the happy friend.
