Not everyone sees this side of me. The side that cries in the quiet of the night, the side that feels the weight of unspoken pain. I wear a mask of happiness, a smile that hides the storm raging within. You see me laughing, engaging, maybe even radiating joy, but you don't see the tears that fall silently, the frustrations that simmer beneath the surface.
Sometimes, I wish I could just let it all out, let the tears flow freely without fear of judgment. But the fear of burdening others, of exposing my vulnerability, keeps me trapped in this silent struggle.
It's a lonely place, this world of hidden pain. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep it all bottled up. Maybe one day, I'll find the courage to let my true self shine, to shed the mask and reveal the raw, vulnerable heart that beats beneath. Until then, I'll keep smiling, keep pretending, keep carrying the weight of my unspoken pain.
