"How Are You Today?"

Sat, 05/22/2021 - 18:59 -- C. Bear

Them : "How are you today?"

How am I? I feel like complete shit. My grades are dropping. I am overly anxious. School is way to difficult. I am being bullied. My friends don't like me. I am always angry. I am always sad. I hurt when no one has said anything. I hurt when people do talk to me. I wish I could dissapear. I want to be noticed. I want to feel wanted. I am lonely. I want to be left alone. I'm never good enough. No one is ever proud. I want to sob, but I don't want anyone to hear. I've imagined how little anyone would care if I just left. If I just died.

Me : "I'm great. How are you?"

Them : "I'm not doing to great."

Me : "Tell me so I can help."

But You could never help me, for my issues are mine only.
