💡You know there’s this thing and happens quite often.

This thing where will be asked how we’re and our automatic response answer is I’m okay.🤓

Now, sometimes it’s true but other times that I’m okay is covering up the facts.🤯

That I’ve had restless nights😴, breaking moments💔,worries on top of worries😱 and i hate to say it-even suicidal thoughts 💭

But to you, to a stranger🤠, a teacher👨‍🏫, a classmate👩‍🏫, a friend💑; even my mother👩‍👦, I’ll say I’m ok.😊

I don’t want to be put into this box 🎁, into this label 🏷️ where I’m known as that sad 😢 and depressed😔 person no one wants to be around🤐.

I’ll fake a smile😊 if i have to, laugh😂, be friendly as possible and act like i know the hell I’m doing maybe if i pretend on those really bad days😭 after to feel like I’m actually okay☺️.

You know-fake it until it feels real, it sounds crazy😧, silly😜 but we all do it sometimes, i just happen to do it more often than others.

Master up some energy from who knows where and use it in order to function to keep the conversation going, to feel like I’m not out of a place🥴.

I feel my heart beating💓 and my chest moving✨ and I know that I’m alive💯 and then i sigh😌.

Because I feel like I’m not meeting this quota that i need to fullfil😌.

I’ll meet your eyes👀 and give you a friendly wave👋 while inside i feel a horrible weight crushing me down🥺, shaky hands😵 and sporadic thoughts💭 remind me of all things I fear😨.

I wonder🤔,

I question❓,

I try to avoid😏 but hey I’m ok😌.

The sun🌄 has come up and has given me another day so I’ll play😊.

I’ll play the part when it’s not really there,look joyful🥰, full of life🧬,look like someone who has the world🌍 in their hands👏.

I’m ok😌 is what I’ll say🥰,

So no one will see the hurricane🌀 that’s slowly coming my way🧘.
