I'm not okay, I must confess,
A heavy burden on my chest.
The world feels too heavy,
My mind is unsteady.

Tears trickle down my weary face,
Lost in this chaotic space.
Filled with doubt and confusion,
In this never-ending illusion.

I wear a smile, but it's a disguise,
Hiding all the pain beneath my eyes.
On the inside, I'm falling apart,
Yet, I keep pretending from the start.

But in the depths of my shattered soul,
A tiny flicker of hope takes its toll.
Whispering softly, "Hold on tight,
For in darkness, stars shine bright."

I may not be okay right now,
But I'll fight to find a way somehow.
Through the shadows that consume my mind,
I'll emerge stronger, leaving them behind.

For pain and sadness won't define me,
I'll embrace the light that sets me free.
I'll rise above these sorrows gray,
And regain my strength, come what may.

So, hear me now, I'll shout it clear,
Though I may fall, I'll persevere.
I'm not okay, but I won't give in,
For deep within, the fire will begin.
