Is anyone really okay?

If someone’s okay they smile 

If they’re okay they are talkative 

If they’re okay they never have a frown 

Wrong. 

People struggle in silence 

People struggle alone 

And people struggle with no help 

But they don’t want the help because they want to do it themselves 

Sometimes we’re too stubborn just to ask for help 

Someone like me 

I bet you didn’t know I struggle with anxiety 

Just because I don’t shake aggressively?

Just because I don’t have to take a pill everyday? 

Just because I don’t look sad?

I don’t need to look sad to struggle with something 

I’ve had anxiety my whole life who would’ve guessed 

Nobody that’s my point

Nobody checks on you when you need it unless your asking

I bet you didn’t know I have a broken family

My parents got divorced when I was young and it affected me a lot

But because I didn’t cry or look sad my parents didn’t notice

I kept it to myself because I didn’t want to seem like the sad kid

The sad kid is the broken kid but I already had one thing broken 

Did you know it takes just one are you okay for someone to say and you fall apart

Did you know it takes one hug and you can feel better 

Did you know it takes one kiss on the forehead 

Did you know it takes just one but instead you get a 

do better in school 

 pay attention more

get your grades up 

Then your back to that shaking damaged kid who just wants a hug
