He Noticed
Today, a man asked me:
"How are you?"
instead of replying:
"Good"
like I always tend to lie,
I answered with the truth:
"I don't know."
He asked me:
"Are you depressed?"
No one has seemed to notice.
I am slowly losing myself,
collapsing and breaking
into a million pieces of glass
except no one acknowledges,
my internal bleeding
or the scars that I hide
beneath the sleeves of my fabric.
I wanted to breakdown
and cry into that stranger's arms
but I could not.
He noticed.
