These days I feel so down
Face set in a perpetual frown
They're asking me if I'm fine
"I'm alright" is my go-to line
But honestly, I'm not alright
I'm losing sight of the light
My future is staring down at me
I don't think I'll ever be free
I want to leave, to escape
But frozen, all I can do is gape
As everything comes crumbling down
Fire consumes my bustling town

Some days I sit around with a frown on my face, sometimes without even realizing it, like unhappiness is just my default emotion now. And often people around me will ask me if I'm fine, but I can't really answer with 'I'm not', can I? I have to keep a cool, calm, and collected façade. And not everyone who asks the question wants an honest answer. So I don't tell anyone that my future looks rather bleak to me, and I don't see much hope for myself. I don't tell anyone that I want to run, I don't know where to, but just run and escape my mind. And so everything falls apart, and I reply, 'Oh, I'm alright'
