Solid

‘Are you solid?’ Is like asking ‘are you okay?’ With intention That you’re 100% And there’s nothing wrong. You’re put together, You’re good, fine, perfect. You’re fine fine fine. Nothing is wrong, The world is sunshine and rainbows. When you ask ‘Are you solid?’ And she tells you no, Your response shouldn’t be ‘Oh but you are’ Like you know what’s going on Because you’re going through hell So everyone else just has to be fine So you can fall apart without acknowledging consequence. It’s unfair to assume Someone else isn’t going through Their own sort of hell Incomparable to yours. You might think she’s solid But it’s all a guise. It’s something she’s practiced Over the course of the years. She’s been where you are But she’s changed her processing. Just because she deals differently Doesn’t mean she’s not still there. She’s come a long way But she’s not ‘solid’. She’s getting through life, Hanging by a thread. Don’t diminish her feelings Because you’re going through your own.
