Let Me Be

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I know you won't understand
   but at times
I enjoy the pain
    the depression
gives me comfort
   -a heavy quilt for my heart
It's familiar
    natural
I know it well
    Just let me be
Wrapped up in my misery
It's comforting 
   sufficating
but not a terminal way

I don't want fixed
    because I'm not broke
Just different
    now
anyway
Let me be
    leave me in my misery
for now
   it's where I need to be

Pain heart ache
   are not four letter words
(especially heart, since it's five)
They are ok
   just not pleasant
And sometimes 
   I need that
