Okay?

No

I'm not okay

What makes you think I am?

The smile?

On my fake happy facade?

Oh please

That's just a charade

The twinkle in my eyes?

Only a shameful masquerade

To cover up

Hide and wipe

The real tears behind

I sometimes smile

And act like nothing is wrong

It's called dealing with hell

And staying strong

My limbs are numb

I never knew you're this dumb

To not see the obvious

Are you seriously oblivious

To the fact I'm drowning

In my own sorrow and grief

I'm sinking

Or you just don't want to deal

With the sad me?

You think my broken pieces

Would hurt you

So you keep your distance

Not knowing the meaning of persistence

And I keep collecting my tears

In this very jar

Called my gloomy life

I keep it hidden so far

Wrapped in my silent screams

Supported with the sorrow that beams

So strongly you might actually go blind

As to hide it away from you

And your judgmental mouth

So you don't have to deal with

The sad me
