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?

There's a lot of truth here. I and many of my friends have hidden secrets. The truths we tell no one because we don't want to frighten or worry them while inside you're screaming for some one to notice.

yeah, and they have so many things going on in their own lives that they are probably also hiding. If only people talked more

Thank you thank you thank you. No, I'm not okay. But nobody asks. Cuz nobody cares. Story of my life. All fifteen years of it.

Sometimes people get so wrapped up in their lives and maybe dont realise you are struggling. Maybe you are too good at acting ok. If you are feeling really down though there are people who will listen. I am talking professionally, but you can see from the comments on this poem that there are others that feel the same way. Everyone should message each other from these comments and talk to each other maybe

so long as we keep talking to each other we will be fine
The sooner we realise a lot of people feel the same way, the better
