All This Effort Just to Seem Normal
<p>Sometimes I think the mind gets tired in ways we never see,</p><p>Like we’re slowly losing parts of who we used to be.</p><p><br/></p><p>You stop replying not because you have nothing to say,</p><p>But because even finding words takes something from your day.</p><p><br/></p><p>You start to miss the things you once held close</p><p>not because you hate them, but because you need a pause.</p><p><br/></p><p>and isn’t it strange how you can need someone near…</p><p>yet pray they don’t ask what’s wrong when they get here?</p><p>Funny.</p><p><br/></p><p>How you can wish to be found but hide where you are??</p><p>You want someone to notice, but not look too hard?</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe that’s what exhaustion does to the mind.</p><p>It makes you crave comfort…</p><p> then leave comfort behind.</p><p><br/></p><p>You become both the person who needs a hand</p><p>and the person who still struggles to help themself stand.</p><p><br/></p><p>And the saddest part isn’t that nobody can see.</p><p>The saddest part is that you still look like the person you’re supposed to be.</p><p><br/></p><p>So you smile, do your work and say you’re alright</p><p>While quietly running out of yourself every night.</p><p><br/></p><p>I do hope we learn that not all “silence” means peace,</p><p>And not all those who function have found their relief.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes a person isn’t falling apart where you can see…</p><p>they’re just using all their strength to remain who they seem to be.</p>
