The minute they ask us, "Are you okay?"
All the lies we construct come falling down.

We try to say, "Of course, I'm fine,"
but our minds are in a state of chaos.

We're broken.

Everyday we try to put our best face on and smile like everything's okay.
We try to keep quiet and isolate ourselves by forming these walls of protection when we're out in the open.

Hoping that as long as we smile and put on a great face
no one will know or suspect anything,
but our actions speak louder than words.

We try to hide our feelings, but we forget our eyes speak volumes.
