sometimes people think you're okay.
because you smiled once that day.
because you were braver today.
but you were not okay.
sometimes i don't even need to smile.
i can be sad with a huge frown.
people won't notice i'm sad.
people won't notice i'm down.
i'll come back home and i'll cry.
maybe i'll tell someone but i know i'll regret it.
people don't care when i cry.
if they did, they would have said it.
"but how do you know that's true?"
because i haven't stopped crying today.
and if the person who cared was you.
you wouldn't have faded away.
