I'm (Not) Okay

I laugh.

I smile.

I tell jokes.

I'm okay, is what I say.

(I cry

I weep

I'm falling,

spiraling

Help)

I'm surrounded by smiles.

By endless support,

By family and friends.

I see this every day.

(But they don't love me

They don't care

They don't understand)

I go to school.

I do my homework.

I get good grades.

(But none of it matters

Because no one cares

It's only me

I can't crawl out of this abyss

I can't escape

Help

Help)

I plead for help, but no one listens.

No one can see what is wrong.

They say it will pass.

But they don't know.

They don't understand.

(They don't care

So why bother?

What purpose is there?

None

There is nothing

Help)

I try to push through, day by day.

I laugh.

I smile.

I tell jokes.

I'm (not) okay.

I'm (not) okay.

I'm (not) okay.
