I'm not okay

by isabel   May 9, 2007


Clouds of darkness in my veins
The sound of solitude remains
In the ground, alone, I lay
I scream out loud: "I'm not okay!"

My wounded heart, I'll never mend
But I just don't wish to pretend
It's just too hard for me to say
The truth is, I'm not okay

My eyes begin to look fake
The tears I cried could form a lake
I'm sick of lying every day
But, if I lie, you'll be okay

I'll hide again and hold my breath
For I am causing my own death
This is something I'll never say
You'll never know, I'm not okay

    Beautiful work!!.excellent imagery...usage of simple and powerful vocab used to express emotions has made the poem better.Sad..though but equally great!

    This is a very cute basic format poem! The message is sad, which is unfortunate, but it is a good poem! 5/5
