Just Whatever's On My Mind

40

 When is the appropriate time to tell someone.

When you know they probably won't give a damn anyway.

Although it's on your mind a lot

It's what gave you the morals you have.

It helped you feel another persons feelings and understand

even when you didn't want to.

When's an appropriate time to tell someone

When you know you might relapse

 Doing something not a person in the world would know you do.

The only reason you do it

Is because a long time ago

for a long time

someone told you to.

When is an appropriate time?

During breakfast when you have to force feed yourself

While you see them right near you

just close enough to tell.

When you are so happy and filled with energy

you wished you could dance around them 

but suddenly you can't seem to find the strength to move.

While they sit near you in your free time

asking what's wrong for the first time in weeks

and it feels like they're drowning you- condemning you.

When is the appropriate time to tell someone

Something unimportant 

entirely life altering

blameless

and sick?

Now.

Talk to me when you can.
