I'm ok A practiced lie A mask that slips On and off all the time I wonder when Someone will be able to crack The smile I plaster every time Through jokes And laughter I conceal the pain But truth slips Through tiny cracks That hold no light Leaving me to Drown in my own sea of sorrow But Maybe one day I'll spill it all But for now I'm just here With hidden hurt But no one to tell

I'm not ok
I'm ok A practiced lie A mask that slips On and off all the time I wonder when Someone will be able to crack The smile I plaster every time Through jokes And laughter I conceal the pain But truth slips Through tiny cracks That hold no light Leaving me to Drown in my own sea of sorrow But Maybe one day I'll spill it all But for now I'm just here With hidden hurt But no one to tell
