"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
But the words don’t match
The weight in my mind.

A smile that hides
The storm in my chest,
A heart that’s tangled
In its own unrest.

"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
A mask I wear
To keep you from the signs.

But if you look closer
And listen with care,
You’ll find the silence
That fills the air.

"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
Just another answer
That doesn’t align.

But I’ll keep pretending
Till the day I break,
And maybe then,
You’ll see my heart ache.
