She is not okay.


Shes okay. She smiles and laughs like nothings wrong. She goes around giving advice and comfort to those who need it. But she needs it too. Why smile if youre not happy Why laugh when its not funny Why help when youre the one in need Why hide the sadness and lonelyness These scars on her arms arent there because shes had a good day When will be the day she stops pretending And starts talking When will she admit she is not okay
