𐦍

never cried in front of a best friend;

went 8 months without crying once.

emotionally stunted,

unavailable,

supreme bottler of emotions.

growing up, when i cried,

Dad laughed;

never took me seriously.

and now i panic

when i must comfort others

(do i look at them?

rub their back,

ask questions?

do i coddle them,

or give room to speak?)

because my first thought

when i cry around another,

is how embarrassed i am

that they must see this weakness.

and i hate to be coddled;

i hate to be comforted.

i'd rather be alone

than bear a witness to my hurt)

(and still the first thing i do

when another cries

is cover my mouth.

because my one instinct

is to smile in humor

when nothing is funny to begin with)

once i questioned myself a sociopath

now i think nurture rather than nature.
