Tell me something.

I don't need a better thing
I'd settle for less
It's another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world
Alone.

I asked a friend to just talk.
Tell me something, I said.
Tell me anything, please. Can you do this for me? I asked

Of course, he said.  

I didn't tell him what was truly going through my mind:
PLEASE. CONNECT WITH ME. 
I need some sort of sign that I am not alone, that I deserve to breathe, to laugh, to cry.
I need someone to hug me and just exist along my side.

  1. I have had the same thought before. In tears asking my best friend, "tell me about something, your day, anything." Beautifully said.

    1. And when they answer without asking cause is when you feel a release you didn't know was holding you back.
      I hope your best friend freely answered.
