I'm okay but I'm really not,
I'm cold but I'm really hot,
I'm feeling good,
But I'm feeling misunderstood,
I smile and laugh,
But I feel anger and wrath,
Who am I pleasing,
Love I feel I am ceasing,
So shamelessly fake,
Constantly making a mistake,
I so want to break,
As my body trembles and shake,
But I just smile,
Grin and bear it a while,
Why can't I just be me,
So afraid to be,
Happy go lucky and wild,
Like an innocent child,
Maybe I'm just passive aggressive,

I think in 21st century Britain we live 24/7, 365 days a year on the rollercoaster of life. This is why mental health is through the roof, people want off just to retune their brains and regain life again.
I feel it stems from trying to please everyone and not being able to express true feelings.. it's like a bottle of fizz waiting to pop.. I agree, everyone needs a reboot
Oh wow! Great poem! Yeah...
"But I just smile,
