“Are you okay?”


No one ever asks.
“Are you okay? You never eat snacks.”

“Are you okay? You cried hard today.”
“Are you okay? You owe an essay.”

“Are you okay? You’re quiet at school.”
“Are you okay? You’re used like a tool.”

“Are you okay? You never say ‘cheese!’”
“Are you okay? You’re too hard to please.”

“Are you okay? You’re no hick, ‘cause of plaid.”
“Are you okay? You look really sad.”

“Are you okay? You look like you’ll cry.”
“Are you okay? Just give life a try.”

“Are you okay? Maybe I should go.”
“Are you okay?”

Honestly? No.
