I break down when I am finally asked how I feel. No one has asked in years. I’ve kept it all Locked up inside So no one can see How I’m truly breaking. I’ve never felt good enough To be part of this world, I self harm in the least obvious ways, I try not to show anything, For fear of being weak. So when I was finally asked how I feel, I cry for the first time in years, I let out my anger for life, My grief for those who have been lost, My sadness that no one cared, My happiness that someone finally noticed, Then when I’m done, I look up and say “i’m fine” I say thank you, And walk away. I feel refreshed knowing someone cared, Even if it was common courtesy. Though I’m still scared, Scared someone will see How broken I am on the inside

Broken
I break down when I am finally asked how I feel. No one has asked in years. I’ve kept it all Locked up inside So no one can see How I’m truly breaking. I’ve never felt good enough To be part of this world, I self harm in the least obvious ways, I try not to show anything, For fear of being weak. So when I was finally asked how I feel, I cry for the first time in years, I let out my anger for life, My grief for those who have been lost, My sadness that no one cared, My happiness that someone finally noticed, Then when I’m done, I look up and say “i’m fine” I say thank you, And walk away. I feel refreshed knowing someone cared, Even if it was common courtesy. Though I’m still scared, Scared someone will see How broken I am on the inside
I hope you liked it, thanks for reading.
