people ask if i'm okay,
but i'm really not sure how to answer.

do i tell them that,
i'm doing well.

or be honest and tell them that,
i'm miserable.

tell them that,
i'm tired.

tell them that,
although i smile and joke,

i'm hurt.

i'm damaged.

i'm sad.

i best just tell them i'm good,

tell them not to worry,

tell them that everything is okay.
