I pretend like I'm Okay

"How are you today?" Someone asks me. I smile, trying to hide the pain that I've been feeling recently.
"I'm okay," I reply.
---
Even when I’m fucking not
---
When I'm alone, my mask slips off and I retreat to the corners of my room not making a sound.
---
And I can't seem to get away
From all the thoughts inside my brain yeah
---
The thoughts linger in my mind, telling me to end it at all because I don't deserve anything that I've been given.

(same thing)

I tell you that I'm doing fine you know I'm not doing fine

"Are you sure you're doing fine?" My therapist asks. I turn to her, nodding.
"Of course. I mean I have everything. Why would I not be okay?"
My therapist sees through my facade and frowns.
---
And I can't seem to get away
You could see it in my eyes yeah I really wanna die
---
My eyes would well up with tears, indicating that I really wanted to leave this world for good.
