Today you asked, "are you okay?"
"And answer honestly", I hear you say
Well...
I don't know how I'm living each day
And every breath I take, I take in vain
For now I am not beneath your sway
Each movement crossing the threshold of pain
I honestly want to run away
To never see another day
Just to be happy and skip and play
And forget that once in your arms I lay
Escape from all the grief and pain
Of my parents looking at me in disdain
Well...
You asked my if I was okay today
I answered honestly and walked away...
