I Am Not Okay


Standing here

Not okay

Trapped in my sanity

Boxed day by day

Feeling numb

Empty and bored

Screamng inside

Eternal void

Many titles, faces, and taits

But deep down under

A single, blank slait

 

Best to be happy? Normal?

I'm good.

Say what's expected

Do what I should

 

Changes abound

Not all okay

Where's the respect?

What's a nae-nae?

 

Why do you care? 

Tell me why should I?

No, I'm not "okay"

In conclusion, BYE
