wounded soul

Some people are just insecure about themselves...

They think that people will eventually leave them if they see them for what they really are, so they choose the weakest escape, "avoidance". So they don't allow themselves to feel anything deeply.

But the disgusting part is, they would let you get attached to them, they would give you just enough to keep on hanging. And the moment you start to think the connection is real, they pull away.

They think being unaffected, running away when things get hard and pretending that they don't care is something "cool",

But honestly, it's the most cowardly behaviour !

A strong man confronts, communicates and fixes things.

Being good to someone, doesn't mean they will be good to you.

You can pour your heart into someone and they will still walk away like it meant nothing.

You can stand by someone through their storms, still they may abandon you in yours.

called your silence “space",

I hold him together even when I am breaking ...

I ask about his day, talk about his worries, calm him down and try hard to be his comfort because his peace matters to me more than mine..

But somewhere, deep inside, I feel the weight of my own unsaid words...

The things I swallow just to keep him calm and the storms I face alone everyday so he doesn't feel burdened..

And yet, after understanding the situation, I too crave for a moment where someone asks me,

"How are you doing everything? What's hurting you?"
