"Are you doing okay"
"Are you feeling alright"
the questions they ask
no answers ever right
"I'm fine" I reply with a painted on smile
"You're lying" they say in their usual style
But if I told the truth about how I felt
"I'm feeling unimportant and anxious please help"
They would tell me I'm being dramatic
So I'll just lie as I slip into the static

It's sad so many people feel like this you definitely nailed it. Excellent write.
I know where you're coming from in these words (did it over many years of childhood). You write well. More concerned over your profile comment though - what you write is not cr*p; how can it be when it comes from you, reflecting your feelings, thoughts, and emotions. I always found it easier to put on a smile, to pretend I was o.k. until I realised that I was lying to myself and was unhappy because I was doing all to please everyone else. Take a deep breath and be proud to be yourself. With a heart as good as yours, you will always have friends and respect.
