Who Am I

I am the one who smiles in front of people, And breaks when I am alone. I am the strong one for everyone, But wonder who will catch me if I fall, I am made of unfinished stories, Quiet dreams, and hidden hopes. I overthink too much, I stay too long in places I shouldn't. I feel everything deeply, Small words hurt, small kindness means everything. I am learning to choose myself, Without feeling guilty. Learning to heal, to forgive, to begin again, I am not just what I have survived, I am still what I am still hoping for. I am a masterpiece in progress, And that's something to be proud of.
