Don't worry about me, I'm okay!

The winds gust, blowing the crisp autumn leaves away🍂
I wish it would carry my worries along with them
But it seems they're now here to stay

I try to hide them as much as I can
No one asks why, my face is permanently plastered with a smile
But they don't know I'm hurting inside

I believe I don't need their pity and concern though
I just want to be me again
But I can't because the only problem is that I'm my own foe

I question every decision I make
I poison my mind with negativity before I even undertake any task
Why can't I be me and stop hiding in that I'm-okay mask?

I hurt those around me because I try too hard
I say what I think they want to hear so I could stick around
Please take me back to when I was three
Back to the good old days when I was carefree

I'm tired of being shy when I could just try
I'm tired of telling others I'm fine
When I really want to spew out all my emotions in more than a line

Please worry about me, I'm not okay
I only pray I don't sound selfish
You're free to get annoyed or rant and rave
I want to fix me and our cherished friendship
Believe me, that's my only wish!
