I'll say I'm okay.
And I'll smile.
I'll wipe my tears
And suck it up.

I'll replace my mask,
All for you, all of you.
This is what you want, right?
Or have the words
come out wrong again?

I'll laugh at my
Little break down.
But be honest,
Do you really want this?

I'll slip back into pretending
All for you people.
I'm breaking inside
You all delivered the final blow

Things I can't say,
I can''t do,
Get tangled as I
Try my hardest
To keep you happy.

My heart can't take this.
It's like you can't read the signs.
They scream "Fragile!" but you
Treat me as if I'm still strong

I'm broken!
Figure it out!

"I'll be okay."
Is that what you want me to say?

I feel like that a lot,
Like I kinda shouldn't break down, because other people want to hear that I'll be okay.
Beautiful poem :heart:
