Ask

It’s a painful

place to be

expecting help

but not asking

for it.

I don't care

It is freeing

not caring

about others’

expectations

of you;

however,

it does not

go without

some grief.

I need a good cry

I need a good cry:

One that will roll

into a stretch of

streaming tears

over a twisted

face full of grief

and mourning.

I need these cries

sometimes.
