I Sometimes Say Im Okay, Even When I'm Not

[u]Am I Ok?[/u]

“Why do you care?
Why can’t you let me be?
Stop helping me!
Stop worrying about me!
I’M FINE OK!
DON’T WORRY, I’LL BE OK!”

Those words I keep saying over & over, but the question remains… AM I?
On the outside, I can smile to everyone & pretend that I’m ok, but am I really?
Is my heart still beating inside my chest?
Have the pieces of this broken heart not cut into my soul?
It’s easy to say let go, but how do you let go of something you’ve been hanging onto forever?
How can I trust you, when you might hurt me the same way he did!

on one hand you can decide to never trust again. You’ll never get a broken heart. You’ll never be disappointed in another.

But you’ll always be alone. An you’ll always wonder how life might have turned out if you did trust.

On the other hand you can begin to trust again. Maybe meet that special someone. An be happy.

But you’ll probably experience heart break more than once before that happens. An think maybe you should have never trusted in the first place.

I’ll admit I’ve never really had a broken heart. So this comes from a place of ignorance. But I’d imagine it’s better to begin to trust. While assessing this other person. Watching for those red flags the whole way. An being strong enough to cut relationships early if those red flags pop to often.
