Dear You Who Carried It Quietly,
#SilentGrief #HiddenHurts #StrongButTired
You wore strength like armor,349Please respect copyright.PENANAnO2YpgG9GD
but only you knew how heavy it really was.
You smiled when it was easier than explaining.349Please respect copyright.PENANAxsYWJB3YRt
You laughed even when your chest was tight with pain.349Please respect copyright.PENANAx0gZ63ZUj7
You showed up for others,349Please respect copyright.PENANAnnX7wnRh0E
even when no one showed up for you.
There was a time you thought349Please respect copyright.PENANAE5wVlCdbeW
that hiding the cracks made you stronger.349Please respect copyright.PENANAfpODRMHuI4
That if no one saw the bleeding,349Please respect copyright.PENANAklV1ZghA6P
it would stop on its own.349Please respect copyright.PENANAMRQ8lHTlys
But it didn't.349Please respect copyright.PENANASCMPLOmSbR
You just became good at pretending.
You held back the tears in public places,349Please respect copyright.PENANABOZoxNO6GQ
cried only when the room was dark,349Please respect copyright.PENANAuQdSR4M7Sg
and whispered your truths into pillows349Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZhqlLvp9i
so no one would hear the breaking.
I want to say:349Please respect copyright.PENANAUT7rh1cmSm
I'm sorry no one asked.349Please respect copyright.PENANAaA9bt05ybm
I'm sorry no one noticed.349Please respect copyright.PENANAb8yvYonMzy
And I'm so, so sorry you had to carry that alone.
But I see you now.349Please respect copyright.PENANAJSOztHCx82
I hear you now.
You were never weak for being hurt.349Please respect copyright.PENANA3YYuIg99G3
You were never dramatic for needing help.349Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q8NYAJiGn
You were simply a heart trying to survive349Please respect copyright.PENANA7pVXkx5ew5
in a world that taught you to be silent.
And yet—you lived.349Please respect copyright.PENANATSGEdI6ufw
You kept going.349Please respect copyright.PENANABF5SICMxNL
You became the quiet proof that349Please respect copyright.PENANAevNVy5kWEw
not all battles need to be loud to be real.
Thank you for holding on,349Please respect copyright.PENANAw79Sw4k0o0
even when you didn't know who you were holding on for.
The healing begins now.349Please respect copyright.PENANAatwwbOPp1M
Not because you finally broke...349Please respect copyright.PENANAw7YHTAJzbq
but because you finally don't have to hide.
—From the voice you silenced, finally speaking back
