"Why didn't you just ask us?"
"You know you can just ask for help."
They said, as i was sitting there in silence.

My body was shaking.
I wonder if they could see it.

I barely heard them as they let out all their problems upon me.
I shut off.
I didn't hear much.
But I knew all of it was related to me alone.

You wondered why I was quiet, emotional.
You didn't expect it from me.
I mean, wouldn't you fall silent too?
If you were put on the spot like that.

Why didn't i ask for help, you ask?
Can i really just ask for help?

But would you really care and hear me out?
I saw that look on your face.
Disinterest.
Lack of compassion.

I felt a cold heart.

I can't ask
I can't ask for help

I know you only want this to make yourself feel better.
I can see through you unlike anyone else, you know?
Don't say im the problem.

I won't ask.
I won't ask you for help.

After you pretended to care about me,
You started giving me the exact reason not to.
