This thing
It sounds like an illness
But I don't feel sick
I held my head between my knees
Till I remembered how to breathe
I don't feel wrong
I just don't want
to burden anyone else.
I needed someone to hold me
Until I forgot what I was crying about
I didn't realize that I was now
"that kid"
And it didn't upset me the way I thought it would
I can't tell anyone
Nobody needs to know.

I'm okay.
