I Am Not Okay

Here I sit a caring human being
I sit and I help
I make sure that you're okay
You've been so messed up
You've been so scared
But have you thought
Maybe I am too
I sit here and keep it in
I wear a mask of happiness
What's underneath?
Sadness
Despair
A mess of a person
Someone who can no more help you than they can help themselves
And all the while
I've been there for you
You have never once thought to ask me
Ask me if I was okay
Because I am not okay
I am a shell of a person
Barely holding on
One wrong move and I may fall
Fall off the edge
Because I am not okay
