Running

Tom is just a boy trying to survive in a world that doesn't seem built for someone like him. For years, he didn't understand what he was - what lived quietly beneath the surface of his skin, waiting to rise. When the truth finally comes, It doesn't free him - It crushes him.

Now he carries a truth too heavy to share and too complicated to explain. Every conversation feels like a performance, every day like a test of how long he can pretend. The fact that he's even still alive - still breathing, still waking up, still cycling to work - sometimes stuns him. After everything he's felt, everything he's buried deep, the sun on his face feels like something he hasn't quite earned.

And yet... he keeps going. Because maybe there's still a chance to understand. Maybe there's still a way to be seen.

He lives with a disability no one notices - not because it isn't real, but because it's invisible. It lingers in the background of every day, quietly shaping how he thinks, moves, feels. No one asks about it. No one sees it. But he wishes - more than anything - that someone would.

Not because he needs pity. Not even help. Just recognition.

Someone who sees what no one else sees... without needing to be told!
