Not Broken , Just NUMB!!

There comes a point when you're not even sad anymore.

You're not angry. You're not confused.
You're just... nothing.

You sit with your thoughts, but they don’t say much.
You try to cry, but there are no tears.
You tell yourself it’s not a big deal.
“Other people have it worse.”
“Don’t make it about yourself.”
“Be strong.”

So you shut up.
You swallow it.
You smile a little.
You go on like you're fine.

And somewhere in between all that pretending, you forget how to feel at all.

You become numb.
Not because you don’t care.
But because you’ve told yourself....over and over again....that your feelings don’t deserve space. That your hurt doesn’t need to be seen.
So you give the stage to everyone else and sit in the shadows with your silence.

It’s not peace. It’s not strength.
It’s just you, tired of being too much and never enough at the same time.

If you’re there right now...just numb...I hope you know that your pain doesn’t need permission to exist.
You don’t have to compare it, justify it, or hide it.

You’re allowed to feel.
Even if the world doesn’t clap for it.
Even if no one sees.
