Chapter 10 - Where Am I in This Feeling?

Haiku 1 – Split

I want you and don't.I feel too much and not at all.Which one should I trust?

Poem: "Both"

I want to be seen.I want to be left alone.I want honesty.I want mystery.I want connection.I want silence.

I want you to read mewithout asking.But I want you to ask—so I know you care.

What is this?A war?Or just metrying to hold two truthswith one trembling hand?

One-line Reflection:

Clarity scares me more than confusion—because once I understand, I can't un-feel.

Haiku 2 – Internal Fog

It's not overthought—it's just that every thought hasa thousand echoes.

Poem: "One of Us Is Lying"

Some days I trust my mind.Other days, I know it's the liar.

It says they care.It says they don't.It tells me I'm better.It whispers I'm not.

I never know if I'm healingor just numb in prettier ways.

But I smile anyway.Because the doubt doesn't scare me.The silence after does.

One-line Reflection:

I'm not lost. I just keep waking up in different versions of myself.

Haiku 3 – Mixed Signal

You said you were sure—but your hands shook when you stayed.Now I don't believe.

Poem: "What Did You Mean?"

You told me I mattered,but your energy said "temporary."

You kissed me like truth,but you blinked like guilt.

I replay the words.I slow them down.I translate them from toneand silenceand the spaces between emojis.

Still don't get it.But I felt it.And that's the most dangerous kind of proof.

One-line Reflection:

If you didn't mean it, why did I feel it?
