The Silence Keeps Asking Questions

Are you “Enough” for them?
Are you sure they “love” you? Are you “perfect” 						
for them? 
Do they really

 “Need”

 You?

The “silence” gets louder at each question.

Are.	you.	Even.	“you”	Anymore?

“no” 

The ”silence” was quiet for once.

It asks one more question

Are.
You.
“Okay”?

“No”

I'm “sorry.” 
the “silence” would answer for the“last time”

Cheyenne Nienhueser April 12, 2026 at 10:40 AM The pain of doubt in yourself is painful and lonely and self destroying I hope you find peace in knowing that you will always be enough for yourself if someone doesn’t like it, well king or queen adjust that crown and show them you are more than the self doubt they are placing you in good luck and I hope you find light in love and healing. Beautifully written
