Are you okay they ask, with a grin on their face,

are you okay they ask, as I hide in my happy place,

are you okay,

No,

i'm not okay, I do not say, I want to die, I do not say,

please,

don't leave me

i'm not...okay, I do not say.

If I say,

they will play, they'll make it a game,

And,

I'll be to blame,

So,

are you okay, they will say, but I save my troubles for another day,

because,

I am,

ok,

or so I say,
