Are You Okay?

Someone asks, "Are you okay?".

No, I'm not, not even close.

I feel lonely,

No one to talk to, no one will listen.

I can't speak.

I feel scared.

Scared of my feelings, my thoughts,

My life.

I'm so confused.

I don't know where to go,

Who to turn to, and where my life is going.

What purpose am I?

I feel trapped.

Trapped in my mind, in my body.

I need to get out, to let my soul be free of this,

And my mind.

I'm hurting.

I hurt every day, each day it becomes worse.

It's getting harder and harder to deal with.

I need to talk.

Please listen, please let me tell you what I need so desperately to say.

Help me. I'm drowning. I need someone!

But all I reply with is,

"Yes".
