"Hope you like it..."

They say I look lighter in the afterglow
Like I finally learned how to let it go
But I’m counting cracks in the bathroom tile
Trying not to break for a little while

I wear calm like a second skin
Let the silence teach me how to blend in
If you listen close, you’d hear the sound
Of my heart hitting the floor, not making a sound

I don’t talk about it, I just breathe it in
Hold it in my lungs till it feels like sin
I’m still standing, but I don’t know why
Guess I learned how to survive the lie

I keep my smile low and my lights turned dim
So nobody sees what’s happening
I float through the room like I’m weightless, fine
But there’s a war going on in my mind
Yeah, I look okay in the soft moonlight
But I fall apart when I’m alone at night
I learned how to glow, how to play my part
While I’m hiding the dark in my heart

I post sunsets, blurry and warm
Like I’m not caught in another storm
They say I’m healing, say it’s obvious
But missing you still feels anonymous

Every memory hits like a quiet scream
You show up in places I never dream
I hate that your name still tastes like truth
When you left me bleeding but bulletproof

I don’t cry where the mirrors can see
I don’t say what it’s doing to me
I just hum to the sound of pretending
Like this ache isn’t still unending

Maybe one day I’ll loosen my grip
Let the truth fall out of my lips
But tonight I’ll stay quiet and small
Lean my back against the wall

If loving you was my deepest bruise
Then smiling became my favorite ruse
I don’t need saving, I just need time
To stop calling brokenness “fine”

I keep my smile low, my voice real soft
Like I don’t miss you more than I should
I drift through days like nothing’s wrong
But I’m tired of being this strong
Yeah, I look okay when the lights are low
But I’m still learning how to let you go
I’m still learning how to let it show
When I’m not okay…
When I’m not okay

"Thank you..."

"Hey... just wanted to say thanks for coming by my Tiny Room tonight. It means the world to have you here in this little space with me." "For this next one... we're going into the archives. This is a piece from my earlier collection. It’s called... Beautiful Smile." "You know... sometimes the hardest part about moving on isn't the crying. It's the smiling. It’s that flawless armor we put on just to convince the world and ourselves that we're completely fine... even when we're quietly breaking inside." "Hope you like it..." They say I look lighter in the afterglow Like I finally learned how to let it go But I’m counting cracks in the bathroom tile Trying not to break for a little while I wear calm like a second skin Let the silence teach me how to blend in If you listen close, you’d hear the sound Of my heart hitting the floor, not making a sound I don’t talk about it, I just breathe it in Hold it in my lungs till it feels like sin I’m still standing, but I don’t know why Guess I learned how to survive the lie I keep my smile low and my lights turned dim So nobody sees what’s happening I float through the room like I’m weightless, fine But there’s a war going on in my mind Yeah, I look okay in the soft moonlight But I fall apart when I’m alone at night I learned how to glow, how to play my part While I’m hiding the dark in my heart I post sunsets, blurry and warm Like I’m not caught in another storm They say I’m healing, say it’s obvious But missing you still feels anonymous Every memory hits like a quiet scream You show up in places I never dream I hate that your name still tastes like truth When you left me bleeding but bulletproof I don’t cry where the mirrors can see I don’t say what it’s doing to me I just hum to the sound of pretending Like this ache isn’t still unending I keep my smile low and my lights turned dim So nobody sees what’s happening I float through the room like I’m weightless, fine But there’s a war going on in my mind Yeah, I look okay in the soft moonlight But I fall apart when I’m alone at night I learned how to glow, how to play my part While I’m hiding the dark in my heart Maybe one day I’ll loosen my grip Let the truth fall out of my lips But tonight I’ll stay quiet and small Lean my back against the wall If loving you was my deepest bruise Then smiling became my favorite ruse I don’t need saving, I just need time To stop calling brokenness “fine” I keep my smile low, my voice real soft Like I don’t miss you more than I should I drift through days like nothing’s wrong But I’m tired of being this strong Yeah, I look okay when the lights are low But I’m still learning how to let you go I’m still learning how to let it show When I’m not okay… When I’m not okay "Thank you..."
