It Wasn'T Okay

She’s mangled from the past she’s known Spent years alone Never known the love of another Just abuse from her mother He tells her “It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay.” Blending in was never her thing Too many worries to bring Razors stop the pain A never ending dance in the rain She wracks her brain “It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay.” Everyone says I’ll get through this Don’t welcome deaths kiss It’s not okay. It’s not okay Cries alone in an empty room No light from the moon The edge gets closer Thoughts of hope push her over They told her “It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay.” Pills labeled toxic Tired and getting sick This is the end of the game Only have society to blame They put out her flame “It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay.” Everybody said I’d get through this But I welcomed deaths kiss It was never okay. It was never okay.
