She's tired in a way no nap can fix

 She's tired in a way no nap can fix.

She's pouring from an empty cup and calling it love.
You look at her and think she's fine because she's still smiling, still showing up, still taking care of everything and everyone.
But she's not fine.
She's exhausted.
She's screaming on the inside while loading the dishwasher, while answering texts, while pretending she's not falling apart.
She doesn't always say "I'm not okay" because she's used to being the strong one.
The one who holds it all together.
The one who swallows her pain so no one else has to feel it.
But silence is not peace.
Quiet is not healing.
Sometimes the strongest women are the ones breaking the most.
And the scariest part is, no one even notices until it's too late.
