Alone
You have been carrying more than you ever admit
haven’t you
The quiet weight
the long nights
the way your heart keeps breaking
yet somehow keeps going
You think no one notices your trembling hands
your tired eyes
the way you hold yourself together
even when you feel close to falling apart
But I notice it
And it matters
Because the fact you are still here
means something
It means you have not given up on yourself
even on the days you swear you have
Hope is not loud
It does not burst through the door
or call your name
It is a small stubborn ember
a flicker in your chest
that refuses to go out
And it is still there
Right now
Even if you can not feel it
So breathe
Let this moment be the one
where you realise you are not broken
you are becoming
And the world has not seen
the best of you yet
