Silence Doesn’t Mean I’m Drowning I Learned to Bleed Without Making Noise Read Between the Lines I Never Wrote I Speak in Calm So You Don’t Hear the Storm Smiling Through Static The Quiet Art of Not Falling Apart I Fixed My Face Before I Fixed My Pain Echoes That Refuse to Break Not Every Broken Thing Shatters Loud I Made Peace with the Things I Never Said
