Help today is just miserable

[Moroze]

today is just miserable
not loud, not dramatic
just heavy
the kind of day that sits on my chest
and refuses to move
my body feels like a house
with too many rooms on fire
and no doors that open the right way
my mind keeps slipping
through cracks i didn't know were there
thoughts unravel
and i'm left holding loose threads
that don't lead anywhere
being sick all the time
means i'm always explaining
or apologising
or pretending i'm okay enough
to exist without making others uncomfortable
i am so tired of being brave
so tired of managing pain
like it's a full-time job
with no sick days
today, i am falling apart
quietly
piece by piece
and even that feels like too much effort
i don't want solutions
i don't want silver linings
i just want someone to know
that this hurts
and that i am still here
even when everything in me feels broken

the house can stay on fire today.
you don't have to be the one to put it out.
self-love is just letting yourself be tired.
it's refusing to apologize for the smoke.
you aren't a job to be managed or a script to be fixed.
you are just a human holding a heavy burden.
let it go slack for a while; the world won't end.
i hear that it hurts, and you are enough exactly like this.
