Take two of "Are You OK?" |
“Are you OK?” By NG Ink This I wish he had asked, When I needed it most, He only shrunk away- He backed away from my crumbling shell. I picked myself up, Trusting no-one, anymore, Only trusting myself, I thought I was the only one that cared. I met a different friend, “Are you OK?” He asked, He wanted to hold me, My arms held but myself, exclusively. So blind to the gesture, His help could have saved me, Such a sincerity, Gentle was his step- the worry was clear. My friend can’t be near me, Too far away to see, Miles away from a hug, I hope it’s not too far to say “Help me.” Too lonely to cry out, I hide in bed all day, Can anyone help me? Once again, I long for “Are you OK?” It’s built up, and released, I‘m smoldering away, Even strangers notice, Now everyone wonders, “Are you OK?” "Yes," I slurp up my pride, Oh, but such a sad face, Why can’t they leave me be? What a kind question, but so much pain’s drawn out. I keeps my arms folded- Closed tight across my chest, Holding myself for aid, Because I’m the only one I can trust- right? |
