Strangers,
decades from now,
will stumble upon the echoes of my life—
My blog posts,
Facebook musings,
TikTok desserts spun with care,
Instagram snapshots of edible art,
Amazon pages of short stories and novellas,
Pictures of me, smiling with family and friends,
Draped in compliments,
DMs,
and countless hearts.
They’ll wonder,
peering through this curated window,
why life felt so heavy on my shoulders,
why loneliness lingered like a shadow,
why success danced just out of reach,
why companionship slipped through my fingers,
why love, so deeply yearned for,
never quite stayed.
They’ll wonder,
despite the effort,
the trying,
the longing—
how it all still felt so far away.
