I'M Not Ok
I’m not alright and that’s ok
Are just words that people say
To ease all the hurt and pain
Just to survive another day
It’s all bull and it feels fake
Convincing yourself not to hate
You live for someone else’s sake
But it’s all more than you can take
You’re so tired and not the sleepy kind
And dark thoughts begin to fill your mind
Praying what you lost you can again find
You tell yourself you just need a little time
I’m not alright and that’s ok
Just another mind game that we play
I’ve lost myself somewhere along the way
I just don’t care anymore come what may
I whish I wasn’t such a coward and did the deed
End everything and let the world forget about me
Just lay down and sleep as my wrists bleed
I’m done trying to be everything everyone needs
So now I’ll finish what I came to say
I’m not alright and that’s ok…..
