Things I Never Say Out Loud
I am not always okay-
but I'm always trying.
Some days,
the weight is quiet.
Other days,
it screams through my bones
and I still show up.
I've learned to be the calm
when nothing else is.
To hold my own hand
when no one else reaches for it.
I do not need to be loud
to be strong.
I do not need to be seen
to be real.
And if I am only
a soft kind of brave-
that's still brave enough.
For the ones who keep showing up, even when it's quiet. You're stronger than you think.
