You matter

I wanted to shake my head

I wanted to say no

But I saw the truth

Felt the disconnect

You wanted me to pretend

So I smiled and nodded

"I'm fine"

Escaped automatically

The shield

Protecting the truth

I wanted to speak my truth

I was

Lost

Scared

Fighting the darkness

Drowning in my mind of negativity

Desolate

Alone

Overwhelmed

Falling apart.

I wanted to feel connected

To believe what I felt

Was important

That it mattered

That I mattered

I decided to leave this space

And go where

I mattered.
