Sitting here
Staring out the window
The ache in my chest
Returns
With a vengeance
I don't want to hear
Feel
See
Do
Anything
I can't go on
Pretending
All is well
When it's not
The hot wind
Is everywhere
Inside my body
My soul
My head
Bed
Pillows
Blanket
Are so welcoming
The safe heaven
I need
To hide
To feel safe
Not the shining sun
Or the ethereal connecting
Music
Is inspiring me
Out of this funk
Today
Can't deal with others
Their problems are weighing
Me down
I'm just so
Not feeling it
Can't someone take
This emptiness
This pain
Away?
Why now?
Why me?
I supposedly
Have everything
And yet
I feel like I don't
I want to talk to someone
Who doesn't revert
To their own issues
Just listen to mine
Help me
Deal with me
Please!
For once
Take my hand
Let me talk
Or not
I need you
To lean on
I'm not ok
Always
Always
And
Always
That standard
Answer
Is to see
Who
Is really paying attention
Who
Wants to know
Wants to help
Wants to be there
Are you that person?
