"are you okay?"
"yeah"
are you okay. it's what you ask someone when you spot them crying. passing without asking them would be considered rude. so you stop, waste your breath, and ask.
"are you okay?" i feel as if the word okay has soaked through it's meaning. people that drench themselves in self hatred say they are okay. what the fuck does okay mean?
are you okay? am i okay? have i ever in my inter fucking life been okay? was it all a lie, a mask, a fake costume i've been wearing my whole life. ichy ichy ichy costume i've been begging to be let out of?
are you okay? no. tears threatening to spill as someone picks at me again. poke. poke. poke. am i spilling? is it finally happening, i'm letting the world know, that infact, i am not fucking okay?
