But There's Something I Hide

At first glance, everything looks calm. The surface holds texture, rhythm, and shape. Yet underneath, there are words, fears, and questions that never made it to the light.

This piece holds the conversation that happens in silence — the one between who we seem to be and what we quietly carry. Beneath the layers lie fragments of thoughts I once tried to bury: the fear of being alone, the ache of uncertainty, the need for connection.

It’s a reminder that everyone hides something — that even behind strength and beauty, there’s a heartbeat learning how to stay open.
