Whisper Feb 2018

I'm breaking.
No, not breaking.
I'm broken.

I'm not going.
I'm already gone.

But do you notice?
No, not notice.
Do you care?

And when I say I'm ok,
I'm actually (br)ok(en).

Goodbye

So this is goodbye.

Go ahead.
Say you love me.
Say you want me here.

But do you?
Do you notice the tears
Spilling down my cheeks?
I guess, a better question is
Do you care?

Go ahead.
You can make me leave.
You can take me away from every last person I love.
But the truth is...
It's you.
Not me.
I don't need a break.
You need a break.
From me.

So this is goodbye.
How long until I see you again?
Goodbye is forever.
So if this is goodbye,
You're saying goodbye forever.

Darkness

The devil asked me how I knew my way around the halls of hell. I told him I didn't need a map for the darkness I know so well.

Whisper Jan 2018

im fine.

The world's most common lie
The lie that everyone believes
The lie that escapes my lips every day.

"I'm fine."

But I'm not fine.
I'm not fine, and that's alright.

Because I'm done holding it in.
Right now, I wanna be not okay.
Just let me be not okay.

"I'm (not) fine."

I'm not fine,
And that's alright,

Just let me be not okay.

Whisper Jan 2018

ill be okay.

I'll be okay.
Just not today.

Because being okay
Does NOT happen on other people's schedules.

Please, please, please,
If you're not okay, don't hide it.
Right now, if you're reading this,
And you're not okay,
Post a comment.

Say, "I'm not okay."
Go ahead.
It's easier than it sounds.

I'm not okay.
But I will be.
Someday
