Stay In Your Lane

Sometimes support sounds like noise in your head - kind, necessary, but still unnecessary. It feels like someone is trying to carefully pull out a splinter, but in doing so, they touch something deeper than you would like to show. The world of advice, sympathy, and “be strong” turns into a battlefield between what needs to be done and what you simply don't have the strength to do.

There is no hysteria here, only fatigue, politely covered up with a request to “be patient.” Every word is like a step through the sticky sand of inner chaos. The music seems to pull out what has long been hidden under the habit of “holding on.” And somewhere in all this, the truth can be heard: healing rarely looks beautiful. Sometimes it's just an attempt not to fall while someone whispers, “Please be patient.”
