Silent Notes

Chapter Nineteen: Whispers of Doubt

₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊

I feel so foolish for imagining all of this,

What if there's nothing? 

 And I'm just blinded by these feelings?

Is there hope, or am I just chasing shadows?

Do I dare to dream of a future intertwined with him?

Or is it a fantasy that only leads to heartache?

Each heartbeat echoes a reminder of what I long for,

Caught in a web of "what-ifs" that tangle my mind.

I sit surrounded by friends, laughter ringing in the air,

Yet the joy feels distant, a melody I can't quite grasp.

I laugh with them, but still feel so distant,

Lost in a sea of uncertainty and self-doubt.

Maybe I should just let it go, forget this crush,

But the thought of him lingers like a sweet ache,

Am I waiting for the wrong timing with the right person?

The weight of expectations presses down on my chest,

Grades slipping like sand through my fingers,

The pressure to excel feels like chains,

Binding me in a cycle of self-doubt and fear.

Why must these human emotions twist and turn,

Complicated yet simple, tearing me apart at the seams?

Why do I have to feel so many emotions,

Like a storm brewing just beneath the surface?

I long for clarity, a sign to light my way,

To know if these feelings for him are worth the risk.

As daydreams of Asher blur the lines of my studies,

Am I just lost in a dream, or is there something real,

Hidden beneath the layers of my insecurities?

What if I'm not enough, lost in this chaos of thoughts?

What if I fail to find my path in this endless maze?

Yet in the depths of doubt, I search for a glimmer,

A flicker of hope amidst the swirling emotions,

Yearning for the strength to face what lies ahead,

To navigate the tangled web of dreams and reality,

And find a way to embrace the uncertain journey.
