I'm Not Ok...

The 3 saddest words you'll ever hear

The saddest words to hear...

                          "I'm not okay."

Perhaps it's because when asked how you are

It's an answer no one expects

                            "I'm fine."

                             "I'm good." 

                             "I'm Okay."

These words are always followed by...

                              "And you?"

What would you do if I stopped lying

                               "I'm not Okay."

                               "I've been hurting for a while now."

Would you help me?
                               "I'm sorry to hear that."
A response that is never apologetic

It is a statement which means you no longer want to talk about it

                                "I'm NOT Okay. I lied..."

Would you help me now?

Or would you feel uncomfortable because I have sold you this lie for a while?
When the truth comes out, would even even care enough to help?

                                  "I have to go, but will you be alright?"

Everyone wants to know how you are feeling

But when you are feeling low

No one cares enough to help you...

                                      "I'll be Okay...just not right now."

Author's Note

It's always unexpected when you ask someone how they are feeling and when they tell you the truth you can't help them.

Insightful, well written with good pacing. For someone young a fresh beginning to a probing mind.

when people ask how are you?, most times, it is just to fulfill the law of courtesy but they don't mean it...even if you do, they most times don't imagine an answer like ' I am not okay'...thanks for sharing

Absolutely true..
No one actually is interested in your issues or how you feel...its just a story for them.and those who pretend to sympathize with you will after sometime dislike you..This is a fact of life ..
Well Written :)

that was really great, sometimes it is hard to tell people how you really feel, once you get past everything inside then you become a better person :)
