I'm Really Not

Sassy Lou

When I say I'm okay, I'm really not 

I'm just suppressing it all inside

Look at the scars and see that I want more 

Yet, something always holds me back 

 

All the tears I try not to cry 

Though all I want to do is cry 

Wishing I never took another breath 

 

Nobody comprehends me 

Nobody comprehends the pain 

They just think that it's just a phase 

I wish they could walk a mile in my shoes 

 

Perhaps they would see another side of things 

Perhaps they would see the enticement

These scars on my body is what I yearn for

Perhaps they would have fathomed out that I'm not okay 

 

That anything and everything I do or say 

Never is good enough for anybody 

That I'm just ready to break down 

And when I say I'm okay, I'm really not 

Look at the visible scars on my body fading 

Let it be known that I'm ready to give in 

Do when I say I'm okay, I'm really not
