✍️ Somebody’s Shoulder Is About to Give Up

 Somebody’s shoulder is tired.

Not from lifting weights —

but from carrying everyone else’s silence.


She smiles like she’s fine,

but she’s tired of being the strong one.

The listener. The fixer. The one who holds everyone together —

even while she’s falling apart.


She answers texts when she’s the one who needs comfort.

She claps for others even when no one claps for her.

She gives. She bends.

But she’s starting to break.


You’d never notice.

Because she hides it like a pro.

But if you look closely,

her eyes say: “I need someone to carry me now.”


Somebody’s shoulder is about to give up.

And the saddest part?

She’ll still ask you if you’re okay —

while she's quietly drowning.
