I'm okay

I'm okay. That's what I tell everyone. Thats what I said when my parent died.

Thats what I said when my grandpa died giving his heart to save my grandma.

Thats what I replied when they told me my grandma died because her body rejected the heart.

But I stay strong. Thats what I've been told to do my whole life. I stayed strong when my sister walked out on me when our uncle started abusing us. I was strong when I was told I had ten years to live.

But I'm tired of being strong. I'm tired of being okay. Why do I have to be strong? Why cant someone else be strong? Can I take a break from being strong? Can I shed a tear? No was what they told me. When will I Isabelle Adams give up?

Jason wants to fix me he just doesn't know how. I can see the look of defeat every time he fails to make me smile. I says I'm okay, but the sadness in my eyes say otherwise. He knows he can fix me but he won't admit it. He won't stop trying. Can he really succeed and save me.
