No,
You're not fine,
so stop saying it.
Stop pretending.
It's clear as day on your face.
There is a problem.
Perhaps,
the problem might not even be all that big.
But it's troubling you.
So spill it.
Let me hear all the grievances.
Drop the mask.
Everyone on this planet,
is hiding behind a mask.
Everyone.
So for a moment,
just a little while,
can you take it off?
Show me what you look like.
I want to see you cry,
Not because I hate you,
It's because I want you trust me.
And people,
they only take the mask off around those they trust.
So forget putting on a show,
forget keeping your pride
forget hiding your weakness.
Cry,
scream,
yell.
It will help,
I promise.
And once it's over,
you can put your mask back on,
you can hide again.
But maybe,
just maybe,
it won't be a mask.
It might be the truth.
Because everything feels better,
when you let it out.
