AM I OKAY?

the lines i write
overlap with the dread i feel.
it fills my pores
and shakes my every bone
but it's okay
because i still feel alright.
the days still go by
and i push on
as the demons follow behind
and take over my mind before i sleep.
i let my thoughts take over my mind
and soon enough i'm eating medicine for breakfast.
i tell them i'm okay
because i still feel alright.
on the inside i'm dying
but on the outside i'm trying
to feel okay.
