Just wanted someone to talk to

All I needed was one person to be able to talk to.

My hands would shake during class uncontrollably

Wanting to cry and cry till there is nothing left

But instead

I am alone

They all come to me with their problems, but what about mine?

Did they forget I am human too?

That I have feelings as well?

Today was the day I told them.

They seemed surprised that I had a voice and that I knew how to use it.

I told them they are not the only people going through things. Yes, what they are going through can be rough, but they are not the only ones.

During class I notice when they are having a rough day, and I ask them if they're okay, like if they have an anxiety attack or they look they are going to cry. But they never do the same.

And it hurts

I just wanted someone to talk to. Someone that notices when I'm having a rough day. Someone that tries to understand me.

Is that too much to ask for?
