“Are you okay?”
No I’m not
I’m drowning in the pressure
That I put on myself
“Oh, everything’s fine!”

“Are you alright?”
No I’m not
I feel like I’m on an island
Alone and desolate
I have to stay
Because I put myself there
“I told you, I’m okay!”

“Honey, what’s wrong?”
Everything
I keep going around in the
Same circles
Of pain
“Absolutely nothing!”

“Are you crying?”
Yes
But you should
See what it’s like
On the inside
“No, just my allergies!”

“Do you need help?”
YES
If only you knew
How much help I need
“No, I’m fine thank you!”

“How are you?”
Not good…
I’m spiralling back to my
Old ways
And I’m scared
“I’m doing well!”

“How’s life?”
If only you knew
How horrible life
Is right now…
“Good!”

Question and Lies

Sadness, like happiness, has its own majestic beauty and must be embraced as a valid emotion, not pushed down as an abnormality.

Wow, baby girl sounds like you need a hug.

Brilliant and I like how sneakily some of the stanzas rhyme with the questions/answers.

I've also used 'conversational bits' in my work which, I know it sounds desperate but I'd love you to check out.

I'm so impressed with your writing well done!
