The Room That shouldn't Exist !
And why it still lives inside you.
There’s a room inside every person.
A room no one built.
No name on its door. No key on any chain.
Just a silent place that shouldn’t exist —
but somehow, it does.
Some of us find it in dreams,
others during a panic attack,
or in a song that makes no sense why it hurts so much.
For me… I found it while staring at a blank page.
At first, I thought it was just silence.
But silence can speak.
This room isn’t haunted by ghosts.
It’s haunted by silence.
And when I really listened, it whispered,
"You left parts of yourself here…
the parts you weren’t allowed to be."
And sometimes — in the middle of the night,
You hear its door creak open.
Through panic attacks.
Through strange dreams.
Through the way your hands tremble when a certain name is mentioned.
Through the way your heart races in a perfectly safe room.
The child who was “too emotional.”
The girl who smiled while breaking inside.
The artist. The storm. The softness.
The voice that was never heard.
All locked away.
This room isn’t haunted by ghosts.
It’s haunted by you.
By every “NO” you swallowed.
By every “YES” you gave out of fear.
By every time you were told to "calm down,"
"be quiet,"
"be less."
But what if this room isn’t evil?
What if it’s a part of you still waiting to be loved?
They say time heals all wounds,
but some wounds are timeless.
They echo across lifetimes. Across generations.
They live in the way your voice shakes when you say,
“I’m fine.”
This isn’t just psychology.
It’s not just trauma.
It’s your truth.
The dark room you were taught to ignore
isn’t your prison.
It’s your proof that you survived.
And maybe now… you’re ready to open the door.
Maybe not all at once.
But just enough to let the light in.
Because you weren’t born broken.
You were just told to hide the brightest parts of you.
But I see you.
And I believe…
The room that shouldn’t exist
is the place your real self has always been waiting.
But one thing is certain:
That room exists. In you. In me. In everyone.
