#1While in reality... you're not okay

Things we never get to talk about;
the smiles we wear like armor,
the thoughts we keep locked away,
the nights we spent overthinking instead of sleeping.

To everyone else, they're the happy one. the person who always has a joke ready, the one who keeps the mood light. But when the day is over and the lights are out, the truth settles in:

pretending is exhausting.

While in reality... follows the quiet battles we fight in our heads, the second thoughts before speaking up, and the tiny moments of connection that remind us we're not as alone as we think. It's about carrying the weight, breaking the silence, and maybe learning that it's okay not to be okay.
