Just One Day

just one day
to be not okay
not strong
not brave
when no one’s watching—
except maybe you
you know me
and I trust you
just one day
to come undone
to shed what I carry
the things I’ve done
you don’t have to remember
or even respond
or do anything
just one day
to be not okay
not strong
not brave
when no one’s watching—
except maybe you
you know me
and I trust you
