I'M Okay, Nothing's Wrong

Are you okay? Why does everyone ask that? Just because I stick by myself Doesn’t mean I need some psychiatric help I’m just a quiet girl I don’t act wild or cool as everyone I may look bored but I’m kind of fun Do reading books and liking to be alone seem weird? Well call me weird It’s not like I care I’m not broken up inside or suffering from dumbness I’m just honest What’s wrong? Maybe the fact that everyone sees me as an outcast Not in the good outcast way; Yeah, life’s children’s play. I put too much energy in these word frays The world will never understand me And I’ll never understand the world I’m just an ordinary girl But they can’t see that Because they’re blind to cliques and styles and new flicks I’m tired of this. I can’t stand it. I’m okay, nothing’s wrong. Really. I’m just a little girl lost in her world Life’s road is a really tiring maze I think I’ll sit down and enjoy the view Watch people trip over their feet and blame a stone Laugh at the way people think of me as alone Life is ridiculous when you’re not me. When you don’t understand true beauty I’m sober, alive Loving life So stop having diarrhoea in your mouths And stop spurting all this crap Saying ‘she’s like this’ and ‘she’s like that’ I’m not a nerd or freak Just because to you I hardly speak So please let me be I am who I am And that’s me.

Wow, how sincere! Most people think acting up and being noisy is cool. But greatness is best cultivated in quiet minds. Yes, nothing is wrong with you my dear.
