I’m only human.
Don’t judge me.
I’m doing my best.
I’m not a mind reader.
Did I say the wrong thing?
Not show up in the way
that you needed?
Why the silence?
I’m fine, you say.
But I don’t believe you.
I know you’re not ok.
You know you’re not ok.
But no one is saying it
out loud.
Too judgemental?
Are we both in denial?
Still loyal to the family rules?
Sweep it under the carpet,
Nothing to see here.
Or is it simply
That neither of us
can cope with
too much vulnerability?
