Tired
"I'm fine"
I say
When they ask how I'm doing
I'm not fine
I'm broken
I'm never enough
"I'm just tired"
I say
When they ask me what's wrong
Tired of things going wrong
Tired of hurting people
Tired of being me
"It's nothing"
I say
When they persist
It's nothing important
Nothing to worry about
Nothing, just like me
"Sorry"
I say
When they ask for an explanation I can't give
Sorry I'm so broken that no one can help me
Sorry that I keep so much from everyone
Sorry that I'm not enough

Sam you are enough! You knew we would see this. We know you are trying to share your feelings with us through this website, and we need to talk about it.

Felt this one. Symptoms of feeling it all and good intentions. Nice write.
