I'M Not Okay Poem by shelbie bozeman

Listen up, listen up
everyone listen to me
I am not okay
even though you think I might be

On the outside you see
a fake person
but on the inside is a person
who is really hurtin

Even if I am told
it will be okay
still on the inside
I know i'm not okay

For my sadness drags me down
and all I need to do is survive
but how will I now
I am tangled up in lies

Even though I am loved
and lots of people say
they love me but on the inside
I know i'm not okay

Can you see what I see
a person in despair
will someone rescue me
or does only one person care

It is killin me
and I've been betrayed
and people say it's fine
but on the inside im not okay

They know what I want
but what do I want now
so many lies
dragging me down

So you see a person
who you think is okay
but look closer and realize
I'm not okay

I am going nowhere
and I am honestly loney
so when you stop and realize
that my life is too controlling

I have to act happy
around my family down here
but noone notices late at night
I sit in a corner and shed many tears

So you think you se a person
who you think is okay
but now look closer and realize
I am honestly not okay.
