Smiling Through the Silence

My life has always felt ordinary—
a quiet rhythm of joy and sorrow,
as natural as the changing sky.

I tell myself I’m fine,
because when I glimpse the stories of others,
my own burdens seem lighter.

I have no great struggles,
or maybe I’ve simply grown used to them,
numb to the weight I no longer name.

I am not afraid to be happy,
perhaps because worry waits beside it,
a shadow that tightens around me—slowly, silently.
