@1111.786: I thought patience had an end Until I realized that some weariness never ends I’m silent not because I have nothing to say But because words no longer change anything I walk among people yet I’m lost in thought As if I’m present in body but absent in spirit I’ve grown tired of explaining what hurts And learned that some feelings are better left unspoken I stopped expecting people to understand me Because not everyone sees the battles you fight in silence I became distant without meaning to be I just stopped feeling comfortable around people Some days I want to talk but I don’t know where to begin And some nights I have too much to say but choose silence I’ve learned that not every goodbye needs an explanation And not every person deserves to know what broke you I no longer chase what chooses to walk away What is meant to stay will never need to be forced Maybe I’m not cold maybe I’ve simply learned That peace is sometimes found in keeping your distance So I keep walking quietly and let time explain what I cannot Hoping that one day my mind will finally feel as calm as my silence
