Tell Me What It Feels Like

Tell me what it feels like to not have that heaviness in your chest. To not have all your buried pain pile up on your chest and be in your face.

Tell me what it feels like to know how to cope without being numb. To not bury the pain even more in ways that aren't permanent or healthy.

Tell me what it feels like to not be in a daze watching a movie of flashbacks. To not relive the things you don't want to feel anymore.

Tell me what it feels like to not have your body invaded by someone who isn't the real you. To not sit and wonder what changed and when did it start to go wrong.

Tell me what it feels like to be embraced. To feel the kind of love that will take the pain away. To just feel a gentle and loving touch from someone who can make it better.
