She won't ask for help but she probably should
by @hannah-m
She is lost
but she refuses to ask for directions
Because she has always been good at navigating
and she will refuse to acknowledge
that suddenly
she doesn't know
where she is anymore
So instead she wanders
around in circles
For days, weeks, months
And as the days blend into one
she finds that she doesn't even recognise
her surroundings anymore
and she can't even remember
how it felt before she was lost
Meanwhile her friends and family
don't notice she is missing
Too busy with their own lives
to realise she is no longer there
And now she's scared
That she has wandered too far
and too deep
That when she screams for help
Nobody will hear her
