A Daunting Moment
Silence, speechless, hushed. The unexpected
moment, that unfulfilling sentence I wish I
did not hear, seconds after he walked
into my room, the voices developed during
the wrong time, within my head.
“ Shhh… It’s fine, it’s okay. ” His words were
spoken so hurriedly, there it was, the
beginning of a future uproar. My head
spewing with endless thinking left all unsaid
and in a void of… “ It’s fine, don’t worry about it.
everything will be okay. ” To be comforted, in a
quick moment of relief, and without any
worries. Devastating, unrealistic, as well as
overwhelming, all three words were all I could
think of from my perspective. Clearly, it was
not okay, it was not fine. Then once more it
was another mistake that I have made and
created, lying between the words that I have
whispered to myself. “ I am… okay. ”
Simply playing my part, in this foolish act.
