“Why so quiet? they ask when your thoughts feel too heavy to hold. “It’s not that deep,” they say when you finally find the courage to speak. “Smile more,” they laugh, while your heart quietly breaks. “Why so happy?” they question on a rare day the sun reaches you. No matter the volume of your voice, no matter the shape of your face, no matter the way you exist, it’s never quite right for someone. And still, the world keeps watching, keeps weighing, keeps judging.

Never quite right
“Why so quiet? they ask when your thoughts feel too heavy to hold. “It’s not that deep,” they say when you finally find the courage to speak. “Smile more,” they laugh, while your heart quietly breaks. “Why so happy?” they question on a rare day the sun reaches you. No matter the volume of your voice, no matter the shape of your face, no matter the way you exist, it’s never quite right for someone. And still, the world keeps watching, keeps weighing, keeps judging.
