Sometimes, when I say 'I'm O.K.' I want someone to hug me and say 'No. You're not.' Sometimes, when I 'smile' I want my friends to notice that even though I seem happy, somethings wrong. Sometimes, when I write, I want someone to read it and know; they aren't JUST words, theyr'e my emotions spilling out on paper. Sometimes, when I'm alone, I want to feel happy. Sometimes, I want to be independent and not have to rely on burdening my friends with my whining to make me feel better. Sometimes, I want my friends to ask if I'm 'O.K.' because sometimes...I don't want to have to say: 'I feel so sad I could burst into tears at any given moment.' Sometimes, I feel my friends should just know, the way I know. I know when theyr'e happy for real, and I know when they're faking it. I know when they hide behind a mask and pretend, but...sometimes, I wish people would see thru my mask. Sometimes, I want someone to ask how I'm doing NOT because they have to, but because they WANT to. Sometimes, I wish there was one person in this world who could see thru my mask...and wanted to be my friend anyways. Sometimes, I want someone who understands me and my feelings. Sometimes, when I say 'I'm O.K.' I want someone to hug me and say 'No. You're not.'
