I Just Want to Feel Okay I wake each day with noise inside my head, I don't feel alive, I feel almost dead They say it's a phase, it will go away, But this pain inside me is here to stay. My thoughts are loud, they don't let me rest, It feels like a war inside my chest. I don't know if it's anger or just deep pain, But it keeps coming back again and again. I try to smile, I say I'm okay, But I feel more lost with each passing day. I hide my truth, I play my part, While something is breaking inside my heart. I run from myself, but I don't know how, I feel so stuck in this moment now. I try to move on, I try to be free, But I end up right where I used to be. I lie and say that I'm doing fine, But fear keeps growing inside my mind. I'm scared of falling, I'm scared to stay, I don't even know if there's a way. I'm not okay, but I still try, I keep it in, I don't ask why. I'm just someone who wants to feel, Something simple, something real.
