Description
When I whisper of my woesHow can anyone hear
When the din of their own lives
Is ringing in their ears
Forcing a smile as they glance
Frown as they look away
Please somebody turn around
I'm really not okay
You refuse to see the signs
A deluge of denial
Drowns out my facial features
The absence of a smile
Obliged to ask how I am
Your concerns I allay
But then again I would do
I'm really not okay
Hold back the transparent tears
A dam of repression
I'll be damned if anyone
Sees through my confession
Slowly my world unravels
Life's tapestry will fray
My pain has been tailor made
I'm really not okay
I write poems and stories
Keep a diary with me
Leave it in public places
Hoping someone will see
And tell me how they have read
Up to the present day
Hold me close and say those words
Are you really okay?

Add a heavt beat to it, some annoying DJs mugging in the background and copious usage of the word "nigga" and you have written a trap song

Ah... That really, really relates to me. I try to make them notice, but when they do ask, "Are you alright?", I look at them with a fake smile and say, "Yes, I'm fine."
I just wish, sometimes, that someone would notice. Anyone.
