I once asked an old man,
"What happens when people open their hearts?
Do they get hurt?"
*"No,they get better," he replied.

I hope so,old man. I hope so.

Define 'Okay'

Define 'Okay'

"Are you okay?"
You ask

"Well define 'okay'"
I answer

My heart is beating
Granted, too fast

My blood is flowing
I just checked

My brain is functioning
I'm thinking too much

My stomach is active
It's angry for me not eating

My lungs are moving
I'm just out of breath

Beyond physically?
No I'm definitely not okay

I'm so tired...

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?
Is anybody out there?
You said you would be there
You said you would catch me
If I fell
Well I'm starting to think you lied
Because now I'm calling for help
And no one is answering my cries

Is anybody out there?
