Keeping to myself.....

[Sugar candy]

You look at me and question
ask me if I am okay

I nod at you snd smile
then turn and walk away

I pretend that I am fine
but inside I want to die

I hold it all inside of me
I will not let myself cry

You seem to think I am so strong
I don't want to let you down

I am always there with a smile
I cannot cry when you are around

I wish I wasn't like this
that I could break down for you to see
but I just cannot seem to do it
do I must keep it all to me....

You seem to think I am so strong
I don't want to let you down

I am always there with a smile
I cannot cry when you are around

I wish I wasn't like this

but I just cannot seem to do it

This poem evokes empathy and understanding for those who might be silently battling inner turmoil. It's a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that genuine well-being often requires the freedom to express vulnerability.

Thank you for sharing this deeply personal and moving piece

I’m Feeling sorry For u .
You’re carrying so much alone.
You don’t always have to be strong
It’s okay to not be okay.
If ever you need someone to just listen or be there, I’m here."
As A Friend Always
