I'm Okay...(Help Me)


I'm okay,

When I refuse to look you in the eye.

I'm okay,

When I hide in the shadows.

I'm okay,

When I hide behind my fringe.

I'm okay,

When the world is ignoring me.

I'm okay,

When I shut you out.

I'm okay,

When you ask me, and walk away.

I'm okay,

When I try and convince myself that I am.

I'm okay,

When I want to die.

I'm okay,

When I have a my mood swings.

I'm okay,

When I can't even look at myself.

I'm okay,

When I don't ask for help.

I'm okay,

When I pretend to smile.

I'm okay,

When I refuse to tell you what is wrong.

I'm okay,

When I am to afraid to tell you what is wrong.

I'm okay,

When I am really falling apart.

RAWR! My life revolves around music, especially rock/post metal core. Songs are poetry with a melody, which can save us from this cruel world we live in. Honestly, I've lost a lot of hope, and am working to recreate it through poetry. I wish for others to see the impact they have on others. Please leave comments, I'd love to hear your opinions. :) "So I can take this pen, and teach you how to live. What is left unsaid, the greatest gift I give."-"Saviour" by BVB
