It’s okay, you say. I don’t need their love, I don’t need their time. I’m fine, you say. I don’t need their support, I don’t need their shoulder to cry on.
It’s okay, you say. I don’t need them.
You’re hurting now, you feel more lost than you ever have before. You don’t sleep, you don’t eat, you can hardly even think. It’s all blank, there is no happiness. There is nothing.
It’s okay, you say. I don’t need help, I’ll make it on my own. I’m fine, you say. So what if I’m lost? I’ll figure it out some other day. I don’t care if my whole world is blank, at least now I don’t feel the pain.
It’s okay, you say. I don’t need them.
With each day that passes, you wander farther and farther, you become more and more lost. You travel deeper and deeper into the emptiness. You look into the mirror, but all you see is the hollowness behind your eyes. You don’t know who you are anymore, and you can’t remember who you used to be.
It’s okay, you say. But now it’s becoming more of a question. Am I okay? I thought I was strong, you say. I thought I could take it. You’re so broken now, how could you ever be fixed?
It’s not okay, you say.
No, it’s not okay.

A very haunting and beautiful post. Reminds me of when I started taking Zoloft, then started seeing a psychologist. It’s hard to start the healing process when you can’t admit to yourself that all is not well…
have a beautiful weekend.

Thank you for sharing that. I agree it’s very hard to start healing when you deny it…
I hope you have a great weekend too 🙂
