Asking.

By M. JohnsonPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

Please see me.

Not the foot I constantly put in my own mouth.

Not just someone to talk about.

Please see me.

See that I hide behind jokes.

See the vulnerability I try not to show.

Please see me.

I am not as strong as I pretend.

The loving mother and reliable friend.

Please see me.

Just see me.

See my scars I won’t hide them.

See without judgment.

Please see me.

I’m standing right here.

I’m right in front of you can’t you see or hear?

Please see me.

I’m crying out for understanding.

I need a break life’s just so demanding.

Please see me.

See that I’m tired too.

Can’t you see all that I do?

Please see me.

Help me.

I’m lonely.

I’m drowning.
