“You don’t know what I’m going through.”
is the lie we tell ourselves.
I might, if you give me a chance.
If you take the risk
to be vulnerable,
to be open,
to be seeking connection.
I won’t say
“I can fix it”
or
“It isn’t as bad as you think.”
Unless that is what you want.
I won’t say,
“Get over it.”
or
“It’s all in your head.”
But, I may
encourage you
to get some
help instead.
One thing I know for sure,
the longer you say to yourself,
“You don’t know.”
the longer I won’t.
