You built those walls so carefully
Read every sign like strategy
Kept wondering what they might see
If they ever got too close
You counted every word you gave
Held back the things you couldn't brave
Behind your grin, I saw the wave
Of everything you never chose
And I'm sorry for the silence
Sorry for the years of doubt
Sorry that I let you wonder
What this life was all about
Sorry for the distance kept
For every night you quietly wept
When all you ever wanted
Was to feel completely seen
You searched for signs in fleeting looks
In empty praise and borrowed hooks
Hoping someone else might write
The story that you couldn't cook
You carried weight that wasn't yours
With smiles that shut the open doors
So careful not to let them in
Too scared to show the heart within
And I'm sorry for the armor
For teaching you to play it safe
For dressing up in who you weren't
Instead of letting yourself take shape
Sorry for the truth we masked
For questions that you never asked
When all you ever needed
Was a place to just belong
But now I see the pieces
And how they tried to form a shield
When what you really hungered for
Was space and time to heal
The strength was never silence
It lived in every hidden part
I wish you'd known that all along—
You were brave right from the start
I'm still learning how to show you
That it's safe to drop disguise
Finding in the mess of feeling
A softer way to rise
Learning to be open
Letting every layer peel
Because all you ever wanted
Was the freedom to be real
And if you're still listening somewhere
Know this from your future self:
You were never too much,
