don't tell me
i'm not alone
don't tell me
it's okay
because
its 2:30 am
on a friday morning
when i am
smothered in
darkness with
heavy thoughts
and what ifs
clutching my
tear-stained pillow
i sit up and
look around
the room
to see that
the only person
is
m e
the only person
who understands
is
m e
the only person
who hears
the cries
is
m e
don't tell me
i'm not alone
don't tell me
it's okay
because
that is false
you are not
the one
engulfed in
sadness
it's
m e
i'm so alone
it's not okay
.
.
.
then my phone
pings with a
message from
h e r
'we're okay. i'm here.'
and suddenly
the room doesn't
seem so cold
anymore
.
it's happened.
i finally got it.
w r i t e r ' s  b l o c k
there you go.
z-e-r-o inspiration.
