You don’t gotta say it, I feel it in the way that you pause when it’s time to be real

You don’t gotta show it, it’s already written in the things that you never reveal

…you can’t hide what you carry

…it shows in the silence you keep

I seen it before in the way people shift when the truth get close but they don’t let it land, like they speak in a version that fits what they need but it don’t match the weight that they hold in their hands

There’s a break in the rhythm of how they deliver it, something is off but it’s subtle enough that it never gets called, but I hear it in how they avoid what they mean when the moment gets heavy and pressure evolves

It’s not what you say, it’s the space that you leave when the truth could’ve lived but you chose to adjust

Not loud…

…not wrong

Just something that don’t sit right when it’s rushed

You don’t gotta speak on it

I already read what you keep in the spaces between

You don’t gotta say it, I feel it in the way that you pause when it’s time to be real

You don’t gotta show it, it’s already written in the things that you never reveal

…you can’t hide what you carry

…it shows in the silence you keep

I learned how to read what is not being said, how to catch what is covered in tone and delay, how the truth starts to bend when it’s filtered through fear and the words don’t align with the weight that they say

There’s a pattern in how people soften the edges of things that they don’t wanna face in the moment, but time got a way of exposing the shape of it later when silence becomes what they’re holding

I don’t force it to surface, I let it exist, but I see it for what it becomes over time

Not hidden…

…not gone

Just something that lives in the back of the mind

Say less…

…it’s there

You don’t lose it just ‘cause you don’t share

You don’t gotta say it, I feel it in the way that you pause when it’s time to be real

You don’t gotta show it, it’s already written in the things that you never reveal

…you can’t hide what you carry

…it shows in the silence you keep
