Please, help me.A Poem by K. TakashitaPlease, Help me. You tell me to take off my jacket, to wear short-sleeves. ‘I’m cold.’ You tell me to open up, to tell you my secrets. I promise, you won’t know everything. You tell me I need to speak up more. I can’t tell you the truth. You see, my heart is in a million pieces, my skin covered in scars. ‘I tripped,’ or ‘My cat scratched me.’ But if you actually payed attention, You would know that I have no cats, Or that I’m almost never cold. I want to show you, show you what I do to myself, show you my demons. But if I do, what if you hate me? What If you think I’m insane or psychotic? In the end, all I want is a little understanding, and maybe some help. © 2016 K. Takashita |
