Are you ok?
I'm fine
That question fills me with dread
Why do you ask
The question that
Has me scrambling for answers?
Are you ok?
Im fine.
No. I am not
I am broken and beaten down-
But do you really want to hear THAT?
No.
Are you ok?
I'm fine
No I'm not. Notice my hurt
I dont want to say it
It's a lie
An illusion I wish were true
But I say it anyway
Why do you do it?
Act as if you care
As if you understand.
You don't.
You let me hide behind my smile
I wish you noticed my pain,
Wish you cared
But you don't.
Are you ok?
I'm... fine
