when i'm sad
i don't want someone to tell me
about how "it gets better"
and that i need to "move on."
i need someone to tell me
that it's okay to be sad,
and that my feelings are validated.
i don't need someone to tell me
about how much happier i could be,
i need someone to hold me
and tell me that i've been strong
and that it's okay
to sometimes not be
okay.
