Ask me if I'm okay,
I dare ya to.
Ask me if I'm okay,
I'll just say I'm fine.
I won't tell you how I'm breaking,
I won't tell you where I'm bruised.
Ask me if I'm okay,
You will get a weak smile.
Ask me if I'm okay,
You'll get a painful nod.
I won't explain my pain,
Cause I don't know how to.
I won't speak of the restless nights,
Filled with tears and blood streaks.
Ask me if I'm okay,
You won't get a quick response.
Ask me if I'm okay,
I may not even look up.
I won't tell you how much it hurt,
To turn your back on a promise.
I won't tell you about the blood I shed,
Just so I could relieve myself.
Ask me if I'm okay,
And I may not come back the next day.
Just don't ask me,
If I'm okay.
