death is an interesting thing 
          	a lover can't love when her heart, her body has been ruined from a young age
          	it isn’t a goodbye,
          	it just looks like one.
          	I learned how to make pain quiet,
          	how to fold it small enough
          	to fit between the lines.
          	
          	If you’re reading this,
          	I probably smiled today.
          	I probably sang, danced, acted—
          	played the girl who has it together
          	so well it fooled even me.
          	
          	I hide things in beauty.
          	In harmony.
          	In timing.
          	I am excellent at pretending
          	the ache is part of the art.
          	
          	Sometimes I think about disappearing
          	the way others think about sleep—
          	not dramatic,
          	just tired.
          	Just wanting the noise to stop.
          	
          	But listen closely.
          	I write for a reason
          	
          	Because I am still here.
          	Because writing this means
          	I chose words instead of silence,
          	ink instead of endings.
          	
          	If I ever leave clues like this again,
          	don’t look for a body—
          	please reach out because
          	i dont know how to ask.
          	
          	I’m not ok.
          	Not perfect.
          	Not healed.
          	But breathing.
          	And tonight,
          	i don't know

@Violettieee idk if you remember but this summer you applied to my applying second nature, but I never got around to writing it because I didn't get enough applications
            would you be down to go through with it and do opinions for your character and read it since I'm thinking of continuing it? It's okay if you don't :)
