Only me

Are you okay?! The voices abruptly shrilled in my head, startling me as I lay in my bed. Outside a sound of rain heavily pounds on the window panes, realizing I have been alone feeling more hopeless at night, I know.

A sense of being on a long winding road then hitting a mental breaking wall; shortness of breath, emotional pain, a discouraging strain. This heart of mine is heavy all the time, days I will laugh and say I am falling apart, I do it from the start.

But every night I am hastily asked “Are you okay?” Though it is not a person that seeks, it is only me you see.
