Im not okay
February 27, 2014
you sat me down like an adult not a child,
told me i needed to try harder,
so try harder i did.
i came back smiling, it was tough,
you shoved me away,
said it wasn’t good enough,
i kept on trying,
you kept on pushing,
each and every time,
i felt like dying.
im no longer trying to be good enough,
im trying to stay awake,
stay strong, but its a bluff,
its hard, i admit,
the fire in my heart is almost out,
it is a struggle to keep it lit,
my mind is saying just go and die,
no ones there to say dont go,
im not okay, but i have to lie.
