Ask me if I'm okay, and I'll say "yes". While my smile provides confirmation.
Ask me if I'm fine, and I'll say "yes". My laughter is the best mask I own.
Ask me if I'm all right, and I'll say "yes". While my throat tightens after the lie.
Ask me if I'm good, and I'll say "yes". My eyes do their best not to release the river.
Ask me if I'm happy, and I'll say "yes" but my heart wants to scream out the truth!
