How do you smile…
when nothing inside you feels okay?”
I’ve tried… so many times.
To fit in…
To belong…
To be like everyone else.
I laughed when they laughed…
I stayed quiet when I was hurting…
I pretended I was fine… even when I wasn’t.
But no matter what I did…
it never felt real.
Because the truth is…
the more I tried to fit in…
the more I lost myself.
And one day… I realized something.
Maybe I was never meant to fit in.
Maybe being different…
is not my weakness.
Maybe it’s my strength.
