Everything's Okay?

[oceanofdreamz]

You say everythings alright,
But I know it's not,
You say you are happy,
But when I look into your eyes,
I see saddness,
You live for today,
Ignoring the beauty of it all,
Afraid to go any farther,
But everything is alright you say,
You are broken up inside,
Confused with life,
But everything's okay?
Scared to be hurt,
I know you are,
But why act like you are okay,
You live under a cover,
Not showing your true pain,
But I know it's there,
Acting like everything is okay
Like you are freed,
But your life is losing days,
There's not much time left,
To get it all together,
I can see the saddness,
And nothing you say,
Can change it,
You keep slipping,
Farther and farther down,
But everything's alright?
You are dead inside,
Without a breath,
Of clean air,
You say life is great,
But I can see past the lie,
You are in a seemingly endless abyss,
Keep slipping,
By saying it's alright,
But it doesn't have to end like this,
Brokeness is the start of healing,
You aren't alone,
Many live with this,
But dont cover it up,
If you ask for help,
You will receive it,
And finally not be lying,
When you say,
Everything's okay.

have you thought about submitting this to the American Mental Health Society(or something like that) Your sentiments echo those of millions of other family members to watch their loved ones suffer in silence but are afraid to reach out. I encourage you to have this published. It could help people
