"I'm Not Okay"

I'm okay is the easiest thing to say
I never share my true feelings
I keep to myself
I'm okay, but in reality I'm not okay.
I'm broken
I'm dead
I want to die.
All I have to do is take a bunch of pills just to be okay
But I'm just not okay.
I'm far from okay
It's a word that I say to keep myself alive
I'm okay
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm okay
I'm still breathing
I'm okay
I still wake up, because I'm alive.
But I'm not okay I'm far from it
Everything is wrong with me
I'm not okay
I'm choking on every breath that I take
I'm not okay
Because I wake up, and I'm alive
I'm not okay
I'm dead inside, but
I just have to tell myself that lie
That I'm okay
That I'm going to be okay
That life is worth living for, but sadly
I'm just not okay.
