Triggered
Are you okay?
It hits me everytime.
It pops the bubble of hidden tears I was trying to hold back.
It sends me back into a never ending spiral.
Are you okay?
I wonder if I should tell the truth.
I wonder what I did to make them ask that.
I wonder why this question feels so good, yet hurts so bad.
Are you okay?
I try to hold my breath, to stop myself from exploding
I try to hide my face, ashamed of myself
I try to think of what to do, in my cloudy brain
I try
I try
I try
It's okay to not be okay.
