So, you bring up your feelings, but of course, your reaction is the crazy one.
You start to wonder if maybe you are insane.
Maybe youre imagining things.
Hannah Popowski
But deep down, you know.
You know this isnt how its supposed to feel.
Still, you start to doubt yourself.
So, you stop sharing.
Its easier that way.
If you dont say anything, you cant be criticized.
If you dont try, you wont be put down.
But then, it hits you.
You start to envy the couples around youthe ones who compliment each other and seem infatuated with one another.
And you wonder, what would it be like to be seen like that?
To be loved like that?
So, you start finding refuge in writing.
At least on paper, you could express everything thats been suffocating inside.
Just enough to make it through the night.
You have everything you ever thought you wanted.
Youre successful, accomplished, respected.
You have a family, a career, a life that looks perfect on the outside.
Yet, deep inside, you feel empty.
Youre successful, but it doesnt feel like enough.
