Dismissing Their Concern

Dismissing Their Concern

You dismiss their concern with a well rehearsed "I'm fine". 

While looking for the strength to inhale one more time and not cry. 

You say you're fine,

but everytime those two words come out of your mouth,

You can feel your insides spin around.

But you don't feel the courage to say the words "I need support."

They see the sadness in your eyes,

but you just say it's because you've  had a bad day.

You aren't really ok but you have adjusted to only ever being there for others. Not yourself. 

For at the end of the day, 

all you have to say is "I'm fine".

You just have to pull it together enough to dismiss their concern.
