I'm Okay

Thought everybody was on my side
Thought everything was going just fine
But I guess I was just lying to myself
Cause nothing has been going just fine

Feels like everything back fires into my face
No matter how hard I try
No one will ever figure out that I'm okay
And that's the way it will always be

If I wanted to die I would have already
And I wouldn't be sitting here tonight
I just want people quit worrying so much
I'm okay I will forever be just okay nothing more nothing less

Just listen please for a moment
Let me tell you a secret
I don't need help
I'm just fine I promise

No one can take away this pain from my heart no matter what
Especially talking to someone I hardly even know
But I guess no one ever thinks about that
It doesn't matter that I'm broken and bruised

All that matters is that I'm still here in the flesh
I don't need help from someone I hardly know
Thanks for the help but I'm sure I'm fine, I'm okay
And I will always be just okay

Sorry I caused everyone to worry
Didn't mean for anyone to get hurt
Thought I was just hurting myself
Thought I knew I was okay until everyone butted in

Don't worry about me I'm okay
Forever and always I will be broken and bruised
No one can change that
Its just a part of my life has been for a long time

I'm so used to this pain that its became numb
I can't feel a single thing anymore
There's no sense in worrying about me
Cause I swear I'm okay

    "Thought everything was going just fine ... cause nothing has been going just fine"
    Best to use a different word for the 2nd or 4th line ending. It loses power in the stanza itself and gets repetitive in the wrong place.

    I like how honest you are throughout the poem. You express yourself in a way saying that you are alright, even though this [such and such] is happening. You don't want people to worry because you know yourself too well to agree to their assumptions.
    It's what goes through my mind at times.
    Excellent write.

    Thanks for entering my contest! Good luck!

    Ummmmmmmmmm, *clears throat and tries again*:

    Wow, I felt this one wayyyy down to the bone! So much emotion in this piece and it's forceful without you even meaning it to be, but sometimes you have to be blunt for people to get the message.

    I like it dear darling, BRAVO!!!!
