sometimes you are an exposed nerve
do not berate yourself for the way your mind decides to process your trauma
sometimes the weight of the world is against your chest
do not force yourself to carry that weight if it crushed the breath from your lungs
you are allowed to be and do and participate and fall back as you please
it is not your job to apologise for the ways in which you take care of yourself
it is not your job to take on the emotions of others
your emotions and feelings and pain and exhaustion are enough
you are enough
and you don't owe anyone an explanation for the ways in which you tried to kill your sadness
