Time

I don’t know what to do, I feel so alone.
Family, friends, I have people who love me, but it doesn’t stop the pain.
“You’re loved!” “You’re needed!”
You can tell me till you’re blue in the face, but my mind will deny every single word.
Just leave me be, don’t worry.
I’ll work through it.
It happens everyday, only this time I was too broken to hide it.
My theatre grin wasn’t wide enough, and you saw through the cracks.
Don’t push it, don’t push me.
I need time to recharge, time to remember who I really am.
But until then, I feel alone.
I feel flawed and cracked, but I’ll become whole again.
I just need time.
