The day before everything feels too much,
no one will know,
because you got good
at hiding how you feel.
You’ll laugh, you’ll talk,
you’ll say goodbye
to people who never knew
you were struggling inside.
But there’s a moment—
quiet, small—
where something in you hesitates,
where staying is still possible.
Because the truth is,
there are people who love you
more than you realize.
Your mom would hold you tighter,
your sister would still need you,
your story still matters
more than this one moment.
And maybe one day you’ll see it—
the light they talk about,
the one that’s been in you
all along.
