Empty Words

“You’ll be okay.

You’ll be just fine.

Take these pills and call me in due time.”

That’s what they all say.

They think its what I want.

They think its what I need.

They think its what will fix me.

“Soon you’ll see.

Soon you’ll walk.

Soon the burning will be gone.

Soon you’ll be okay.”

Being okay isn’t what I want.

Taking pills isn’t what I need.

These simple words that flow from your mouth wont make me all better..

I need to see that you actually care.

I need to know you understand I’ll never be fine again.

I need to know you’ll be there.

But most of all I want these tears I weep to go away and happily be able to say I’m NORMAL!
