Cry for Help

I’m okay 

At least I\'m okay 

 

I’m not okay 

I am not okay 

 

I need a change 

Something needs to change

 

All these voices in my head

Telling me what I feel 

All these different feelings 

That I can’t decipher between what\'s real and what isn’t

 

All these voices in my head 

Telling me what to do

Telling me...

Yelling at me 

What to do

 

All these voices in my head 

That I can’t seem to get to go away 

 

Why won’t they go away

 

For once I would like them to go away 

 

Damn it! 

 

Just go away

 

I’m okay 

At least I\'m okay 

I keep telling myself

Even though I know it’s not true

 

It feels like I\'m drowning 

With all these voices in my head 

 

I’m numb 

 

No matter what I do 

What I say 

Nothing..

 

Nothing seems to make any sense anymore

I just go along with the motions of the day 

As if…. as if nothing matters anymore

 

As if I don’t matter anymore

Not to me

Not to my friends 

Not to my family

 

I’m numb

 

Just going though the motions of the day 

Just doing the same old thing day after day

 

I’m okay 

At least I\'m okay 

I keep telling myself

 

But...

 

All these voices in my head 

Have taken over 

Have taken over what I say 

What I do 

How I act 

 

All these voices in my head 

Have taken over 

Have taken over my body mind and soul

 

I need a change

Something needs to change

I have tried changing things before 

But nothing seemed to work

 

I tried getting helped

But…

It either didn’t help or

do anything or

No one was listening 

No one was paying any attention to me

 

No one ever listens to me

No one ever pays me any attention 

All they ever do is yell at me

All they ever do is tell me I’m doing something wrong 

All they ever do is blame me for stuff 

All they ever do is treat me like their sounding board like I give a shit 

All they ever do is stick me in the middle without asking me how I feel about it

 

And when I tell them to stop, they don’t listen

No one ever listens to me 

No ever pays me any attention unless it\'s for their own benefit 

 

I’m okay

At least I\'m okay 

I keep telling myself 

 

Then why is that all I want to do is to cry 

All I want to do everyday is cry 

Every waking hour 

Every waking minute

Every waking second 

All I want to do is to cry

 

I cried almost every day for three years straight 

So one may think I\'m all cried out 

But apparently, I still have more tears to cry

 

I’m okay 

At least I\'m okay 

I keep telling myself 

And others 

 

Maybe hoping that one of these days it will actually be true

Maybe hoping that one of these days I will believe it enough to where it would actually be true 

Maybe hoping that one of these days I can stop faking being okay 

That I can stop faking all the emotions I say I am when someone asks me how I\'m doing 

 

This is my cry for help

But no one will ever know
