They only ask
"How are you?"
Because they know
You'd always
Say
"I'm okay"
They never ask you
"How are you holding up?"
Because they are afraid
You'd break down
We are living in
A world where
"I'm not okay, I'm not happy"
Is frowned upon
They say they miss you
Yet you're the one
That always texts
First
They say I love you
Like it's as simple as
Changing a pair of socks
We have gotten used
To the meaningless I love you's that we can't
Seem to notice when
It's real
Nowadays people don't
Know the difference between
Lust and infatuation
Over love
Friends become enemies
And family become
Strangers
Lovers don't love
Each other like
Lovers supposed to
We can't be afraid
Of the dark anymore
Because the ones we know
Are the danger now
People ask you
"How are you?"
Because they know
You have to say
"I'm okay"
That's what we all
Say isn't it
The next time someone
Asks you
"How are you today?"
Look them in their eyes
And say
" I am not okay"
And let's see what their gonna say
" Okay"
Is not okay anymore
Don't be just okay
Because you have
To be
Be Happy
So the next time someone
Asks you
"How are you?"
You can say
"I'm better than okay, I'm happy"
Because there is so
Much more than
being
' Just Okay '
