Not Okay

When you ask
If i’m okay
And I can say with confidence
That I am not having a good time with this

And as a gesture
In return, I ask
If you are indeed alright like you say you are
And you can say with trust 
That you are not…

Not okay, 
Cuz we’ve both been there,
A good deal
At this point we just laugh

Laugh
At how ridiculous
This is
And we don’t do anything about it

Because nothing
Will make it okay
But at least you’re here for me
And I’m here for you
