The words we’re not allowed to send

There are days when everything feels fine, and then there's days like this. Everything has been feeling sort of too much. The noise, the questions, the expectations.
People around me I didn’t ask for, saying things I don’t want to hear, asking for parts of me I can’t (or don't want to) give.

And it’s not their fault, not really. But today, even the smallest thing feels heavy.
