Not okay

but i'll be fine,

just not today.

Heavy weight from my depression and my problems.

Her warm touch is the only thing that can solve them.

I've tried to ask for help,

i scream but no one can hear me.

My depression blocks out sounds from the inside out

similar to being underwater..

The deeper I go,

I get colder

The more I gasp for air,

the more weight on my shoulders.

Wounded heart and open scars,

but i'm still beautiful like all the stars.

Telling a story not many can read..

You'll never truly know me,

you'll never really see.
