A Mask of Fine

 


How do you ask for help

Without feeling like a burden

How do tell someone you are not ok

All you say is I am fine

The words fall out so naturally

That no one sees or notices

They take you at face value

All you do is scream internally

Screaming you are not okay


Even when someone notices

You say I’m fine

You can’t be that burden

You can’t weigh them down

You are carrying the weight 

You tell your therapist everything is grand

Put on this mask


That’s what you are good at
