It's ok
I say to others
Even though I'm drowning in it
It's ok
I can do it all - and more
Just to help
It's ok
When others can't
As long as I work
It's ok
One may feel like this
I say to others - even though I feel nothing
It's ok
As long as it's not about me
Everything is ok
As long as I function
And keep everything running
It's ok
Have no time to think
Always on the move
It's ok
Until I can't hide it anymore
Don't have the strength to cover it up
Then it's not ok
The questions and comments
Because they realize
That I'm not ok
The emptiness inside me has won again
Give me time
Then it becomes invisible again
If only for you
Makes it easier for me
