Chapter 6: Not Okay

Darkness (A book full of poems)Words: 589

On the edge of this cliff

About to jump right off.

I tried, and tried to

Become happy, but every smile I show

Is fake to make you think I’m okay.

Though really my world grows dark,

And is crashing at the seams. My heart

Is breaking, leaving  me shaking out of control.

They just see me the way they want me to be,

And now for who I truly am.

Hiding behind a mask

Pretending i’m okay, and that i’m happy

This way; when I'm really not.

Saying i’m fine, but there's a line between

A truth, and a lie. The reality is I just want to die why oh

Why you see the sign

That I’m not okay.
