The Burden My Words Weighed

Meera Mere

I cried when I said I was fine,

I lied when I said I knew what was mine.

I sighed when I said I was wrong,

Cause I didn't want to drag it along.

 

I went numb when I said I hadn't slept,

I hid when I said I hadn't wept.

I slept when I said I couldn't,

I got up when I said I shouldn't.

 

I wiped my eyes when they went teary,

I bled when I said it wasn't sheary.

I stabbed myself when I said I was okay,

I doubted myself when I said I wasn't low-key.
