When I turned against myself

You asked if I was fine.

I lied.

Too many emotions in my head,

No way to let them out.

You asked if I was fine.

Again, I lied.

But then I speak, and I tell you that I'm not.

That I've turned against myself.

That my body is a war-zone,

My thoughts telling me I'll never be good enough

And my hands helping the bad escape.

And you don't judge. And you don't speak.

And I see you look away, and I know.

You weren't expecting honesty.

So I lie, and I shrug it off.

But then you call me,

And say that you're here for me.

And I trusted you.

And I was right to.

You ask me if I'm okay.

And I don't have to lie today.

Because I am. I'm okay.

Because you were there

When I turned against myself.
