Im Not Okay

I really hate to say this,
But I lie to you almost every day.
I say I’m always honest with you, 
But that sadly is a lie as well.
I tell you that I’m happy,
Or that I’m fine and or okay.
You never seem to see the truth, 
But that is my own fault.
I really wish that you could see,
That I’m never really happy,
Cuz truth is I don’t want to tell you, 
I want you to realize it on your own.
I know that I should tell you, 
But telling you is so hard.
Because you always become upset,
And ask me what is wrong.
I don’t want to explain myself,
I don’t want to hear “I’m Sorry”
I want you to make it okay. 
Because you’re the only person that can.
