Words left unsaid

See me

I'm hurting and you can't even see it

It's not just a phase

Stop telling me that

You should help me

Or care

Can't you see?

I need you

I need someone

To help me stop hurting

This is not just a phase

I just want you to see

To ask if I'm really okay

I'm not

Stop telling me I'm being a victim

This is real

I can't handle this

Your ignoring the idea

That I might really be getting bad

I want you to see me

I need you to help me out of this mess

I'm hurting, and you can't even see it

And I worry

That the only way you will see it

Is if I do something to prove it to you

Is that the only way out?
