Off My Chest

I smile, I laugh, I make jokes, I seem happy.

But, no, I'm not

Never okay, never happy, never there

I'm never okay, I do things to make me happy when they just cause me pain

No --not cut--  I binge

I eat too much, it makes me happy

I guess this is me admitting to it

I write my pain away, in a fictional universe that has people that go through what I do

And they are surviving 

I'm not

I'm damaged 

I'm shattered

I'm lost
