You were raised
that asking for help
wincing in pain
acknowledging just an ounce of struggle
made you weak
made you less than who you are
You grew up
hiding the aches
underneath blankets
crying into your hands sitting in the tub
as the hot water poured over you
so no sound of your weakness
would leak
as you continued to drown
You learned
what screamed inside of you
wasn't alone and it needed to be released
to help those whose voice stays silent
to save you
in regards to have happy days
with someone you love
and care for
more than the routine of pain.
