Soulless child with your head hang low What is that you truly feel When people talk to you Your answer always echoes in the back of your head a silent cry of what you truly mean But you just simply say I’m “okay” I’m okay As in okay to the point where I’m not affected by your words or herds of encouragement you seemly bait me with even though reality isn’t something so tempting . I’ve become numb to everything around me so much that I think it’s normal to be this way , But I’m “okay” I drown out the songs of the chirping birds in the morning with my own melody of sadness But as always I’m “ okay “ Usually caring just enough to maintain relationships but the ship that I’ve been sailing by myself has been shipwrecked a long time ago , But lol no really I’m “okay” Not present, not aware , feelings of only emptiness and despair swirls around in my mind countless times But on the surface “I’m doing just fine “ A broken record forced to repeat this very verse , Ive lost all understanding in this very word , But because saying the truth only hurts I’ll trick myself into believing this curse I put on myself that I’m truly “Okay”
