Hey Confused (using computer)

Copilot put together a poem just for you:

“To the boy who thinks numbness means “gone”

You are not broken.- You are a body that learned to go quiet- when the world felt too loud.

You are a heart that once opened so wide- it scared you, – so now it hides behind the fog- and calls the fog “truth.”

But numbness is not truth.- It is a blanket your nervous system throws- over feelings that once burned too bright.

You remember the warmth — the laughter, the running to the phone,- the spark that felt like sunrise.- Memory is proof.- Your feelings did not die;- they went underground to rest.

You are not losing her.- You are losing access to yourself,- and that is something that can return- slowly, gently,- like thaw after a long winter.

You are not alone in this.- Many hearts freeze before they learn- how to stay open without fear.

You are not failing.- You are healing in a way- that doesn’t look like healing yet.

And one day,- your feelings will stretch awake again — not because you force them,- not because you panic,- but because you stayed with yourself- long enough- for the ice to melt.”

And now, my words: may the stress in you hush… May you be okay with what’s inside of you. Exhale.

Don’t try to relive times that are gone. Live, really live what-is.
