The way I look is not the way I am
this is true for everyone
hidden woes, worries
hopes and dreams
too scared to reveal.
When I say I am okay
I am lying
I am not okay
I am lonely.
More than I thought I was capable of
My smiles are genuine
and so are my laughs
but when I lie at night
I am not happy
and I am finally still enough to realise this
So please take into consideration,
that it is merely polite
to slap a happy smile
and walk around like you're on top of the world,
when you say are you okay?
