I'M Okay

Just let me stress 
I'm okay with all the anxiety 
Don't tell me I'm amazing 
It just makes it worse 
I have to be perfect 
Or I'm a terrible person
I can't help this feeling
Yet I'm okay 
Don't try and help 
I don't trust you with a thing I say 
Don't say I'm pretty 
I'll just find a flaw 
I can't help anything I do 
It's not like I don't want to trust you 
I don't have a person I can talk to 
I think they're going to go behind my back 
And betray me 
Yet I'm okay 
I hide behind being egoistical 
Making people laugh is what I love 
Just a smile makes me know I did something 
I don't want anyone to know
I'm not okay 
So for now 
To everyone else 
I just okay
