I'm not Okay
I feel it creeping back up on me.
The heaviness settles in.
My heart beats faster
It's hard to breathe
The stone setting on my chest
Makes me feel like I'm drowning on land.
The day was grand but then I felt it.
People talking to each other.
Barely anyone talks to me.
The only friend who actually talks to me is on my phone.
Not the ones I'm with.
What is going on in my head?
Why do I make my day so sad
And lonely?
Make myself depressed
Make myself isolated though I need to talk.
My lips are shut and have little use.
Sometimes I'm too scared to speak
Or even too tired to.
I wished they noticed me.
I wished someone would acknowledge me.
I wish someone would ask if I'm okay…
I'm not okay.
