I'm Not Okay
This fire's growing stronger,
the temperature's rising.
I'm burning alive,
there's hatred arising.
From the ashes of my charred heart,
comes a pain I cannot bear.
I'm screaming for help,
but no one seems to care.
I'm going to be honest,
I'm not okay.
There's a lover still alive in me,
a fighter, a friend.
But he's drowning in complexities,
and the tide's pulling him in.
This ocean is rising quickly,
I'm struggling to get free.
Every effort to escape fails,
as the water rushes over me.
I'm not okay.
I cannot climb this mountain,
it's taken all my hope.
The ***** is too slippery,
I can't do this alone.
I'm not okay.
