For the Ones Who Hold

You don’t need to be loud to be strong.
You don’t need to speak to be heard
by the ones who know you’re always there.

You feed the world with quiet hands.
You give your time to things that don’t remember your name
but need you anyway.

You don’t get applause.
Just crumbs.
Just tiny sighs from warm rooms where no one saw what you gave.

But I see you.

I see you when you
pause before breaking.
Fold one more thing.
Breathe instead of crying.

You are not invisible.

You are the space that holds
everything else.

So rest here,
for just a moment.
No lesson.
No task.
Just a still blanket, and
someone who sees you.
