You asked me how I am
I reply
"I'm okay"
I say this not because it's true
but because it's what you want to hear me say
Any bit of negativity
I have in my life you disapprove of
I wonder why you asked this question
If you never want a different answer
You always say I can talk to you about anything
But the moment I'm truly in need of help
You act as if I'm not worthy of it
Any time I want to speak my mind
You act as if I'm not allowed to formulate my own opinions
You say my sadness "brings down your mood"
Instead of asking me why I feel that way
That's why I say
"I'm okay"
Even though I rarely ever mean it
