Silent Heartbreak

Silent heartbreak.

That emoji is like when you’re sitting there watching everything fall apart but no one even notices you're hurting inside it's like being in the background of someone else’s drama and feeling completely ignored

I see that emoji every time I post something and get zero replies it's like shouting into a void where everyone has their mute buttons on and no one wants to hear what you have to say

At work sometimes it feels like everyone around me is speaking a different language I try to explain things but they just look at me with that blank stare like they’re silently drowning in confusion and I'm the only one who can't shut up

My mom uses that emoji every time she sees me trying to talk through my feelings but I just end up making it worse she knows I’m not dumb but sometimes I act like I am and it’s just silent heartbreak between us

When you’re trying to be funny but no one gets it and you're left standing there with your joke hanging in the air like a question mark that nobody wants to answer it's the ultimate hushed humiliation
