Heavy

I always thought that being strong
meant holding it all inside.
I carried the weight for far too long,
with nowhere left to hide.
I wish I knew I needed help when the days began to blur,
and getting out of bed each morn
felt harder than it used to be,
and left me feeling torn.
I wish I knew I needed help when the smallest things felt big,
like a spilled cup on the floor,
or a gentle question from a friend
that I just couldn’t face anymore.
I wish I knew I needed help when I forgot how to just breathe,
and spent my time pretending
that everything was perfectly fine,
while my own world was bending.
You do not have to do this alone.
The burden is too much to bear.
It is okay to let it down,
and let somebody care.
