Sometimes people think if someone is silent then everything is okay. But it is not always true. Some very deep pain hide behind quiet faces. A person can sit with you, smile, even laugh but inside they feel very broken.

Sometimes you want to speak but you cannot. Not because you have no words, but because you feel nobody will understand you. So you stay quiet. You keep all things inside. Slowly this silence become more heavy than words.
Many people feel like this every day. A student worry about future, a worker tired but still working, or a person who have problems but cannot share. From outside they look normal, but inside they are not okay.
The most hard thing is to act like you are okay. You learn to hide your feelings so good that even close people don’t see it. You say “I’m fine” again and again, even when it is not true.
But being silent is not weakness. Sometimes it need strong heart to stay quiet and move on. Not every pain need to be told. Some pain people carry quietly.
Still, we should remember everyone is fighting something we cannot see. So we should be more kind and more patient. Sometimes just listening help a lot.
Because all screams are not loud. Some are silent
and those hurt the most.
