Fallout

A Poem by Lauren N. Rodriguez

She thinks I'm falling-
Maybe I am

She thinks I'm sinking-
I've already drowned

She thinks I can be fixed-
The scars will always stay

I'm fine
I'm lying

I'll get through this
I can't

I can fend for myself
I'm done fighting

She knows I'm falling-
I know it too
