To Create. To Live

Crying

Are you okay?

Such a simple question

Yet so complicated to answer

Am I okay?

I try to be

I hide my pain inside

And wait for it to subside

Easy right?

It is

As long as I can ignore it

As long as I can deny it

Leave it

Don't acknowledge it

And it goes away

But not if you ask

Are you okay?

Shut up and I will be

Are you crying?

Yes

And its your fault

I can't ignore the pain

If you so bluntly point it out

I am crying

And this isn't something I can hide

Not like my pain

I would have been fine

If you hadn't spoken

Are you okay?

Not anymore

You asked

You forced me to acknowledge it

I was so close

To letting it go

But you had to go and ask

Are you crying?

Yes

And I can't stop it

Not anymore

So thanks for asking

You made me cry
