this is as good for me 
as I think it is
because 
I don't like to feel everything 
I hope you are doing ok 
I'm not SURE 
HOW 
I'm doing 
BUT 
the therapist said 
take it easy 
don't push myself 
& don't let people overwhelm me
I'm LIKE 
is there a thing NORMAL people say
to get people to 
leave them alone 
we decided on 
I just need a little SPACE right now
& he asked me what I'm gonna say to 
ya know
I'm LIKE 
I'm leaning towards 
I've been happy to help you 
for these last couple years
BUT 
I need my time back
& just kinda hope 
they think it's about my mom
BECAUSE I don't want to have to explain 
or take a bunch of feedback 
& I KNOW 
they understand that 
EVEN if they really don't understand me
