The Smile is the Worst Part

I learned how to cry without making a sound. how to bleed without leaving a mess. how to smile with teeth that ache from biting back every scream.

they call it dramatic but they don’t know the art of self-destruction performed in silence.

the laugh you heard? wasn’t mine. just the echo of a survival instinct that forgot how to feel like living.
