I'm Not Okay

I'm not okay.

Really. I'm not.

I fight to make it through every day

Even though you don't see that I'm distraught.

I'm not okay.

No matter what you might think.

I'm scared and I'm confused.

Every night I drink.

I'm not okay.

Can't you see?

Do you ever notice the way

The pain builds up inside of me?

I'm not okay.

But you'll never know.

Because I keep silent.

And let the emptiness grow.

Im not okay.

So next time you ask

If i say "I'm fine."

Don't believe me and move past.

I'm not okay.

Just look and you'll see

Every thing that I'm going through.

But no one cares about me.

Im not okay.

But I'll say that I am.

Because eventually I realized,

No one gives a damn.
