Listen to Someone

Days without eating Days without sleeping Days without speaking The nights Are the hardest When the voices Are the loudest Days without eating Days without sleeping Days without speaking Don't tell me it's okay To not be okay Then wince at everything I say Don't tell me it's okay To not be okay Then wince at everything I say Then wince at everything I say Don't act like a confidant If you're just going to get impatient And make patronising suggestions It's not my life that's the problem It's me Days without eating Days without sleeping Days without speaking If I could fix it like a broken limb I would If I could stop these thoughts and start again I would I would leap at the chance But the chance, it does not exist Some illnesses They just have no fix Listen to someone without judgment
