Emotions

she doesn’t ignore you

because she doesn’t want to talk.

she just wants to see if you care.

she acts like she’s okay

because she knows

that sadness

is weakness.

and tears

show vulnerability.

so she bottles it up

instead of getting help.

because why should she speak to someone

who tells her that her emotions are wrong.

because her emotions are hers

no matter how foolish they seem.

she just wants someone,

anyone,

to accept her

for how she is seen.


The author's comments:

I have family issues, and nobody really understands. I love to write poetry when im feeling upset, because it helps soothe my emotions. Bottling up your emotions is hard, because at some point, you're going to explode. Remeber, it's okay to need help, and someone loves you. Be here <3
