I'M Ok

I’m Ok

Im ok. 
That’s what we tell everyone when they ask us “ How's your day going?” 
You say “I'm ok.”
But that's not how we feel. 
We might be having a horrible day but still we say “I'm ok.”

 Why do we have to say I'm ok when we aren't? 
It's just lying to someone's face.
 So now we're all liars. 
So I'm just calling out a bunch of people, in fact everyone. 

So no, when someone asks me “How's your day going sweet pea?”, when I'm at some restaurant.
 No, I'm not going to say “I'm ok with a fake smile. So no, I’m not ok.
