they said i was strong
Strength. It's a word that's often spoken with admiration, etched into the compliments of well-meaning friends and strangers alike. They look at you and see a fighter - a survivor of storms, unshaken and unbending.

i’m not lonely, i just don’t know where i belong
I’m not lonely. Not in the way you think, anyway. I’m not sitting in an empty room with nothing but silence to keep me company. I have people—friends that reach out, family who checks in.
