Can we not
Pretend for once
That we are fine
That everything is in control
That every single fiber
Of our being isn't hurting.

Isn't it alright
If we undress ourselves,
Reaveal all the
Bruises
Scars
Wounds
Especially the cuts
We have
Inflicted to
Ourselves
And those that are
Caused
By others

Because it's fine.
Really
To admit for once
That we are
In the midst
Of chaos.

It's alright
We are still trying
To find our
Way out.
