I'm Still Not Okay

I walked into the darkness.

It was unseasonably warm

and still.

My eyes scan the nothingness

in front of me searching for

anything to release tears

I've been holding back.

Anything. Anything.

Something. Something.

Give me enough reason

to grieve what I never had.

Mourn the loss of a ghost--

the life I am too scared to reach for.

The chance of a risk paying off.

I cannot risk it-- 

there's 

a long way down 

and no net to catch me. 

Push back. Put on a smile.

Happiness can be bittersweet.
