ORCHID :
I failed to save myself. I tried so hard to stay strong, to keep fighting through every heartbreak, every disappointment, and every silent battle that no one else could see. I kept telling myself that things would get better if I just held on a little longer, but somewhere along the way, I lost the person I used to be. I smiled when I was breaking, stayed quiet when I wanted to scream, and carried pain that became too heavy to bear. I gave so much of myself to people, to hope, and to dreams that never stayed, until there was almost nothing left for me. Maybe I couldn't save myself the way I wanted to.I failed to save myself. I fought battles that no one ever noticed, cried tears that no one ever saw, and carried pain that became too heavy to hold. I kept believing that if I stayed strong just a little longer, everything would eventually be okay. Instead, I slowly lost myself while trying to save everyone else. The light inside me faded, my smile became a disguise, and my heart grew tired of pretending it wasn't breaking. Now all that's left are the echoes of the person I used to be and the memories of a soul that only wanted peace. Sometimes the saddest part isn't that the world gave up on me it's that, somewhere along the way, I felt like I gave up on myself too🥀
