Bonjour my friends!
I haven't updated any of my things in forever, but to let y'all know I'm not dead.
Recently I didn't have much inspiration for new poems so have a really old one.

Hopefully I'm able to find some inspiration back and write new poems, but for now try enjoy all my old things ;))


-A

_____________


I am alive
But,

I am not living
I am barely even surviving

I am not more than a body
A body with a beating heart

A body that is forced to breath
A body that is forced to eat

A body that is forced to smile
A body that is forced to live

I'm fine
I'm okay

I'm great
I couldn't be better

I kept on saying
When somebody asked

But did they ever believe me?
Did they ever believe me?
If I didn't even believe myself?

I am not okay
I can only pretend to be okay

But
I can't do this forever

I can't keep on pretending to be okay
I can't keep on fake smiling

I can't keep on faking my emotions
I can't keep on acting like everything is alright

Because it isn't
But it's fine.
