Thorny Poetry - 35. A Cry for Help

Struggling a bit right now. Trying to get the words out, but I'm struggling with that, too. I'm okay, I think.

i can’t put into words

that you will understand

how much it hurts

and my pain is ignored

i just want to be heard

 

a cry for help, they say

as if those who cry are unworthy

the bleeding child

not deserving of concern

 

high functioning

too good at hiding

too accustomed to being okay

so they don’t see

 

but practically non-functional

in the day to day

failing at life when it rears its ugly head

 

and the stress, it triggers more

triggers the pain

again

 

emotional and begging for relief

begging to be seen

and no longer be the healthy one

who just makes a big deal

out of nothing

what is my trauma

when compared to others?

 

when i see others being cared for

and me left in the corner on my own

counting days and counting words and counting worlds

until mine falls

feeling unworthy

 

feel it till i believe it

and then your work is complete
