A Cry For Help
By Vallwrites
~
I need someone to realise.
I need someone to see my pain.
I'm breaking.
I'm cracking.
I can't hold it in any longer.
I'm going to scream,
but nothing comes out.
I'm going to break down,
but it never happens.
I'm going to cry,
but no tears fall.
They can't see my pain if I don't show them.
But I can't do it.
I don't know how to do it.
I was always taught to hide my feelings,
to box my emotions away.
So, how do I do it?
How do I ask for help when I don't know how?
It's closing in now,
the weight is slowly crushing me
closer and closer to the ground.
I won't be able to survive this,
I know I won't,
but I try anyway.
I hold the weight on my shoulder,
all while keeping a smile on my face
and telling everyone that I'm fine.
I can't tell them,
I just need them to realise.
I need them to, somehow, magically sense what I'm feeling.
I need them to help me without my asking.
