Unsaid Things

There are so many things I don’t know how to tell people:

That loud noises overwhelm me.

That I replay conversations in my head for hours.

That I don’t always want to be strong.

That I’m scared of losing people even when I know they’re not right for me.


I wish vulnerability didn’t feel like danger. I wish the people I love could read between the lines without me needing to spell it out.


But maybe this is what growing up is, learning how to say the unsaid things before they swallow you whole.
