I'm tired.

I'm tired of trying to please everyone.

I'm tired of being nice to people who hate me.

I'm tired of it always being my fault

I'm tired of letting everyone throw me around.

I'm tired of pretending to be okay.

I'm tired.

So when I try to express these feelings I'm being selfish?

I'm being rude?

I'm being disrespectful?

I'm being mean?

Yea, that's right. I'm not allowed to express these emotions.

Why should I? I don't have a reason.

I have a perfectly fine life, I have good friends, and I'm okay.

So I can't be sad.

If I'm sad, then I ruin everything.

So I'm not tired.

I'm fine-

"Hey hey it's okay Shirabu. I'm sure whatever is wrong it'll get better."

Semi. He's hugging me?

"Nothing is wrong though-"

"Yes, something is. That's okay. You don't have to happy, it's alright to be sad. You just can't let it take you over, but for now, cry all you need to."

Cry? I'm crying. Why I shouldn't-

"Let it all out."

....

Maybe it's okay to cry.
