You hold yourself so well, people would never suspect you're going through hell.

In the right spaces, you will be heard without shouting. You will be seen without showing your wounds. You will be understood without changing who you are.

You can be yourself without any need to alter your identity.

Talking to those who understand you is valuable; perhaps that's why I've spent half my life talking to myself.

Look at you, Wiping your own tears With the same hands That long to be held

The waves pulse like hearts. Beached under the spumy blooms, we lie sea-sick and fever-dry.

Sylvia Plath, from "Whitsun" in The Collected Poems of Sylvia Plath

“and at some point I thought to myself: ‘no person deserves this,’ and I realized that includes even me.”
