Everyone says it'll be okay

But what if it's not?

What if I'm never okay?

Everyone says that it won't last

That it'll go away

If thats true then why am I not better?

Why am I not okay?

Why is it that every breath I take feels like it should be my last?

I am not okay 

I am not better

On the outside I'm a strong, happy, and funny girl

But on the inside I'm a small, scared, and lonely soul

Begging to be saved

It is so often said that everything will pass. That its just a phase. I wrote this poem to try to show readers what its like on the inside of someones head whem people try to tell them that they'll be okay.
