Pretending I'm Okay

Everyone asks me
'Are you okay?'
But they never seem
To understand.

Some try to ask me
'Are you okay?"
For if only they could
Make themselves look better.

You try to ask me
"Are you okay?"
But I bark at you
For I'm tired of hearing it everyday.

But the one time I need it,
When I'm not okay,
Everyone ignores me
Just pretending I'm fine.
