never okay
whats wrong with never being okay
why ask me questions
that i dont know how to answer
i dont know what to say
im not okay, never have been
my feelings have been hurt and
my pride wounded
i lost my mother when i was five
youve had yours your whole life
so dont act like we are the same
everything i do is for everyone else
i jump when you call my name
everything ive done is for people
who believe that i live my life in vain
im a sinner a freak a dork a geek
im fat ugly short and weak
im nothing and never have been
so dont ask me if im okay
when you dont know what happens
behind closed doors
when i cry myself to sleep
behind the curtains
where i try to dream
in my pillow
where i muffle my screams
so much sorrow can be disguised by happiness
even when you dont know whats happening
so many times ive drowned in my tears
so many times where ive awoken from nightmares
in a cold sweat, when i feel like i have nothing left
so dont ask me if im okay
when you already know the answer
im never okay
never have been
im never okay
never will be
im never okay...
